I’ve always been drawn to houses—not just their design, but the stories and meaning they hold.
As a teenager and young adult, I dreamed of becoming an architect or interior designer, and that love of home design has never really left me. I still find myself lingering over floor plans, daydreaming through model homes, and noticing the quiet details that make a place feel lived in.
Since 2010, I have created custom home artwork as a way of honouring home—a first place, a family house, a cottage, or a meaningful restaurant, shop, hotel, or landmark.. These paintings are a celebration of place, memory, and belonging.
Your home is hand-painted on a 16 × 20″ gallery canvas using acrylic paint, bold line work, and expressive colour. This style is intentionally simple and whimsical, capturing the essence of a home rather than architectural precision. All paintings are sealed with varnish for protection and longevity.
Paintings are created using your reference photos, with the option to coordinate with a favourite colour palette, or invite an intuitive approach. House numbers or subtle identifying details can be included where appropriate.
- Size: 16 × 20″ gallery canvas | Other sizes are available. Contact me for pricing.
- Medium: acrylic, sealed + varnished
- Price: $600 CAD + HST
- Available within Canada only | Local Ottawa pickup or delivery. If shipping within Canada is required, rates will be determined and charged accordingly.
- Full payment is required in advance
- Kindly allow 3–4 weeks to complete, from order confirmation date.
Once your order is placed, I will email you a House Portrait Submission Form, where you can upload photos and share additional details.
Upon reviewing your submission, I reserve the right to decline a commission if it is not a suitable fit for this style. In this case, your payment will be refunded in full.
Sketches may be requested prior to the painting stage.Due to the custom nature of this work, no refunds will be issued once painting has begun. If you have any questions before placing your order, please feel free to reach out.
