Custom House Portraits — Turn Your Home into Art

"It takes hands to build a house, but only hearts can build a home" (с)

Capture the essence of your home with a custom portrait — a timeless piece of art that celebrates the place where memories are made. Whether it’s a beloved family home, a dream cottage by the sea, a special vacation spot, or a family story, each portrait is carefully crafted to reflect the unique character and charm of your property.

House portraits make unforgettable gifts for housewarmings, weddings, anniversaries, or to honor a childhood home or family cottage. They’re perfect when you want to give something deeply personal and heartfelt — especially to someone who "has everything".

Each portrait is created by hand, based on your photos and notes. Special details — a favorite tree, a mailbox, a porch swing — are carefully included to reflect what makes your place truly yours.

Watercolor or Ink — two unique ways to tell your story.

Watercolor flows with softness and light, like memories bathed in a gentle glow. It captures warmth, atmosphere, and the feeling of home.

Ink speaks with quiet strength and timeless grace. Each line holds clarity and permanence, preserving the story of your home with elegant simplicity.

Both are crafted with the same care and attention, so you can choose the style that feels closest to your heart.

Each portrait is more than an illustration — it’s a memory preserved in art. 

All pieces are painted on archival-quality paper using professional materials.

 

How It Works

Choose your preferred size and style (watercolor or ink), and send me a few good-quality photos of your house along with any notes about special details you'd like included. I’ll create a pencil sketch and send it to you for approval before moving on to the final piece. Turnaround time is usually 2–4 weeks.

Each portrait is carefully gift-wrapped and sealed with a hand-stamped wax seal — making the unboxing feel as special as the art itself.
