I didn’t expect this to become a major part of my life, nor actually a business. I was quite happy designing cards until painting houses, churches and wedding venues became something people asked me for… a lot.

Watercolour house portrait painting - custom and personalised

Love your house? Of course you do - it is a comfort and a home! I paint watercolour commissions of people’s houses, wedding venues, churches or other buildings of significance. It can be where you live now, your childhood home or the house of someone you want to give a significant, special, custom and personal gift to. Using real paint on real paper, these are gorgeous original pieces of art to adorn the walls of your home with.

Just like that, a gorgeous wedding anniversary is out in the world ✨if only it happened that fast… I love painting this colour of stone though, and the shape of this building is stunning.

This was a wedding/return from honeymoon gift. This pub no longer exists, a Ryman’s has been built in its place 😅 so it is especially thoughtful of the groom to get this painted for for his wife, as her dad used to own this pub. Now immortalised in painted form rather than just 2009 google maps street view photos, she will be able to look back on fond memories each time she walks past this.

Painting a wedding venue in watercolour

Choose a wedding gift with a difference. The personal touch and sentimental value of having the bride and groom’s wedding venue painted with their names and date hand lettered will last for decades. Hand painted in Northern Ireland, a custom and personalised watercolour wedding venue painting is the perfect wedding gift or anniversary gift for a couple close to you.
