The family home

Celebrating the homes we love

Our homes are where we live the chapters of lives. Perhaps your child has bought their first home, or you want to remember the home you are leaving yet cherish. Maybe you want a gift for your best friend who loves tending to the garden path that leads to their front door.

I love designing and painting these special memories. Commission a portrait.

The border

Look at your garden beds first

The colors in the border are chosen first, and then the flowers. We can choose together, or I can select these for you by referring to the house style and colors within the house portrait.
