Our homes hold such significance within our lives. They are our shelter from not just the wind and rain but also the chaos of the world. Our home is where we feel safe. Our home is where we gather around the table with friends and family. Our home is where our children learn to walk, lose their first tooth, and make unforgettable memories.

Our homes are the setting for life to unfold in all its marvelous twists and turns.

I focus on providing hand made, one-of-a-kind sketches of homes, as well as other sentimental places that you treasure. I have received comments from happy clients telling me that not only was the architecture of their home captured but in some unseen way the soul of the house was captured too.

All homes are drawn from a photo, or multiple photos if possible, in the same hand-drawn style that you see in my previous commissions. At check out, you’ll be given a link to Dropbox folder to upload your photo(s) to. Please be sure to point any trees, light posts or any other things that you would like to make sure I include in the sketch. With my simplistic style of sketching, I will not include every detail of the home, so its good to hear of anything you want me to make sure to depict. Along with that, please let me know any items that you do not want included, especially things that block the primary view of the home.

After you place your order, I will begin working on your piece! My current lead time is 4-6 weeks. I will send you a preview image of the piece, shown in pencil, for you to approve/request any adjustments. This preview will not show all of the final details, such as brick or foilage texture, but it will give you a great idea of what the final piece will be like!

The final sketch will be drawn in pen & ink on heavy watercolor paper, with enough of a border for you to have the sketch matted and framed. It will be shipped (or made available for local pick-up) in a protective sleeve in a rigid envelope. The sketch will not smear or smudge to the touch, but I do recommend framing the piece to both protect it and help showcase it. All sizes are standard sizes for many frames.
