about the artist

I’m a Tasmanian artist who turns homes, shops and other sentimental spaces into bold, modern building portraits. Whether it’s your first home, your nan’s café, or a special Airbnb from a once-in-a-lifetime trip , I create hand-drawn artwork that captures the story behind the structure.

My specialty is creating house portraits that capture memories and make gifts that feel truly personal.

🏡 Why I Draw Buildings

Because places hold stories.

From weatherboard cottages to milestone businesses, the buildings in our lives shape our stories.

I use bold colours, statement lines, and my signature Icon Style to create portraits that feel fresh, fun, and full of joy. They’re not just about architecture - they’re about moments, milestones, and meaning.

Perfect for housewarmings, retirements, settlements, anniversaries, or just because.

🎵 Who I Am

I live in Southern Tasmania with my muso husband and two wild little boys. I love coffee, coastal walks, and supporting local small businesses (bonus points if there’s pastry).

I started drawing buildings during parental leave as a creative outlet - and it grew into a joyful business built on connection and sentimentality. These days, I work with thoughtful humans all over Australia to turn their special places into one-of-a-kind art.

💛 What I Offer

  • Custom house and shop portraits that make you feel something

  • Unique gifts that are way more meaningful than mass-produced stuff

  • An easy, stress-free process - just send photos, and I’ll handle the rest

If you’re looking for a meaningful, modern way to celebrate a place, I’d love to work with you.

🎁 Let’s make something special.

Whether it’s for a loved one or just for you, this is artwork that tells your story.
