Your Home, Painted by Hand
Every home has a story.
Maybe it's the first house you bought together. The lake house where your family spends every summer. Your childhood home. The home where you raised your children. Or a house you're leaving behind but never want to forget.
I paint each watercolor home portrait by hand from your photograph, creating an artwork that captures the character and feeling of that special place.
Your finished painting is more than a picture of a house.
It's a reminder of home.

Your completed artwork becomes a meaningful keepsake you can display in your home or give to someone special.

A Watercolor Portrait of the Place That Means the Most
A home can represent so much more than a building.
It's Sunday mornings, family dinners, Christmas mornings, summer afternoons on the porch, children growing up, neighbors becoming friends, and years of memories.
That's why I love creating custom house portraits.
I get to take something familiar—a photograph of a house—and turn it into a piece of original artwork that can be enjoyed for generations.
From Photo to Watercolor
Your photograph doesn't have to be perfect.
I'll work from the photo you provide and focus on the details that make the home recognizable and meaningful.
Good photos can include:
- Front-facing views of the home
- Photos taken from the street or driveway
- Homes surrounded by landscaping
- Lake houses and vacation homes
- Historic or older homes
- Homes with porches, doors, gardens, or other distinctive details
If you aren't sure whether your photograph will work, send it to me and I'll be happy to take a look.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you create a watercolor house portrait?
I create each portrait by hand using your photograph as my reference. I carefully paint the home and its surrounding details to create a recognizable, artistic watercolor portrait.
Do I have to live in the house?
No! You can commission a portrait of any home that has meaning to you.
You might choose a childhood home, a family home, a vacation home, a lake house, or a home you've recently sold.
Can you paint a house from an old photograph?
Often, yes. If you have an older photograph of a home you'd like painted, send it to me so I can determine whether I have enough detail to create the portrait.
Can you paint a home that has been sold or no longer exists?
Yes. That's one of my favorite reasons to create a house portrait. A painting can preserve the memory of a home even after you've moved away.
Can I give a house portrait as a gift?
Absolutely. Custom house portraits make especially meaningful housewarming gifts, wedding gifts, anniversary gifts, and realtor closing gifts.
If you're giving the painting as a surprise, you'll just need a good photograph of the home.
How long does a custom house portrait take?
Turnaround times can vary depending on my current commission schedule. Your estimated completion time will be provided when you place your order.
What if I'm not sure my photo is good enough?
Send it to me! I'm happy to take a look and let you know whether I think it will work well for a painting.
Ready to Turn Your Home Into a Watercolor?
