Hello! I’m so glad you’re considering a house portrait. Whether it’s a gift for a loved one or a keepsake for yourself, I know how much "home" means. To make the process as smooth and joyful as possible, I’ve gathered the most common questions I get asked below.

If your question isn't covered here, or if you just want to chat through a specific idea, please don't hesitate to reach out—I'd love to hear the story behind your home!

I work primarily from photographs. Once you book a commission, you can send me several high-quality photos of the property. I will then create a hand-drawn architectural illustration that captures the character and "feeling" of the home.

Not at all! Clear photos taken on a smartphone are usually perfect. It helps if you can provide a few different angles and point out any specific features (like a favourite climbing rose or a unique chimney) that you’d like me to emphasise.

Yes, that is the beauty of a hand-drawn illustration! I can "remove" wheelie bins, telephone wires, or cars, and even add in garden greenery or trees that might not be in full bloom in your photo.

Typically, a commission takes 3-5 weeks from the moment I receive your photos. If you need it for a specific date (like an anniversary or birthday), please let me know, and I will do my best to accommodate.

I generally work from A5, A4 and A3, but I am happy to discuss custom dimensions if you have a specific frame or space in mind.

I work on smooth, high-quality Bristol board, which ensures each drawing remains crisp and allows me to focus on the intricate, finer details of your home.

My standard service provides the original artwork on high-quality paper, unframed, to ensure safe shipping. However, I can provide framing advice or arrange professional framing for an additional fee.

Prices start at £150 for an A5 portrait. Each commission is unique, so the final price is tailored to the size of the piece and the intricate details of your property.

Currently, I primarily ship within the UK. However, if you are located abroad, please do get in touch—I am happy to look into international shipping options and provide a bespoke quote for your location.

My work isn't just a trace of a photo; it’s a creative response. Drawing on my background in sculpture and fine art, I use "mark-making" to translate the physical rhythm and energy of the building. You receive an original piece of art that feels alive.
