Because it’s thoughtful, personal - and they’ll never see it coming. A custom house portrait is the kind of gift that makes people cry (in a good way). It’s meaningful, full of heart, and shows you’ve put way more thought into it than a last-minute Big W dash. You’ll be supporting a local artist (me!), skipping the stressful shopping queues, and giving a gift that sparks genuine surprise and happiness. It’s not just a pretty picture - it’s a memory, a moment, a connection.

Because last year I sold out by July - yep, six months early! I’m mentioning it now so you don’t miss out. There’s only one of me, and each portrait takes time to create. Everything needs to be finished by November to make the post in time, so spots are limited and always go fast. If you’re thinking about it, now’s the moment!

It’s easy - you just send me some clear photos of the building you’d like painted (I usually use Google Maps or real estate pics, actually!). You choose your preferred size and portrait style at checkout, and I’ll take it from there! 

No worries - send me what you’ve got, and I’ll work my magic. I may ask for a few extras if needed, but I can usually piece things together from a couple of angles.

Trust me - every building has charm when I paint it in my signature style. Whether it’s a weathered old shack, a plain brick unit, or a shopfront with character, I focus on what makes it unique. And I’ve had more than one client tell me “You made it look even better than real life!”

No worries at all! If it helps, Icon Style in A5 size is by far my most popular option (it’s my signature style!). If you’re still unsure, just pick the one you’re leaning toward and leave me a note - I’ll be in touch if I think another style would suit your building better. It’s better to lock in your spot and confirm the style later than miss out! If you change your mind, we can sort out style change and payment when I’m ready to paint.

Once spots are gone, that’s it for the year! But don’t worry - you can still grab a digital gift voucher so they can choose their own style later (perfect if you’re cutting it close). And if you’d still love a Christmas spot, stay on my waitlist - sometimes a space opens up and I’ll offer it to the list first.

All Christmas commissions are guaranteed to arrive in time for the big day. I’ll be scheduling artwork from August through to November, so your turnaround time will depend on where you fall in the queue - some lucky folks will get theirs much earlier!

Yes! I ship all over Australia with tracked postage to make sure your artwork arrives safe and sound in time for Christmas - and it’s all included in the price.
