A bespoke portrait of your beloved home, or a lasting reminder once the time has come to move on, I create original hand drawn artwork in ink and watercolour in a variety of styles and sizes.
I can also turn my hand to drawing other buildings – a favourite pub? The train station you met outside of on your first date? Your wedding venue?
I love talking to my customers about their stories and why the buildings are important to them, adding little touches to bring the story to life, to end up with a piece of unique commissioned art you can keep forever. I take the time to get to know you, understand your story and work out how to express that in the illustration. I’m honoured every time someone choose me to capture their place, and my focus is always that every commission is as special, and as personal, as the subject.
I can use old photos, screen captures or whatever you have, and will spend time researching and exploring to recreate a building that no longer exists, or capture every detail of your home exactly as it is now.
“I have tried to write this many times but I'm having trouble putting into words just how great this illustration came out. Jen's work surpassed my expectations. My parents are moving out of the house they built together almost 35 years ago and this is going to be a piece of the old house they can bring with them. I look at this picture and my heart swells. I burst into tears when I saw it in person. Jen was easy to work with and understood everything I asked for. I am eternally grateful.“
