I paint custom watercolor illustrations of the places and faces people love - wedding venues, house portraits, maps, pets and family. 100% hand-painted in photoshop, never AI. You approve the sketch before I paint. 4–6 working days. What I paint • Wedding venue watercolor illustration — barns, vineyards, estates, courthouses • Custom house portrait / home portrait from your photo • Architectural watercolor illustration — buildings, streetscapes, storefronts • Wedding invitation and stationery illustration — save the dates, menus, signage • Children Book illustration • Memorial pet portrait — dogs, cats, horses • Family and couple portrait illustration with painted backgrounds • Botanical and floral watercolor for brands, packaging and stationery How it works 1. You send the brief and photos. A phone photo is enough. I'll tell you within a few hours what will and won't translate to watercolor, and what I'd change. 2. I send a hand sketch for approval. Nothing gets painted until you've approved the composition. This is where changes are free and fast. 3. I paint it. Hand-sketched, then hand-painted in Adobe Photoshop with real watercolor brushes and paper texture — no AI, no filters, no traced photographs. 4. You receive print-ready files in the sizes you need, ready to frame, print or hand to your stationer. What you receive • 300 DPI print-ready files, sized for frames • Transparent PNG for invitations, signage and product use • Layered PSD on request • Commercial licence included on demand • Two revision rounds • Rush option available if your date is tight Why clients choose me Every piece is painted by hand — over 1,200 to date. That matters more in 2026 than it did five years ago, because most "watercolor" on the market is now a filter, and a client printing 150 invitations can't afford to discover that after the proof comes back. The thing clients mention most is that the process is calm and the deadline holds. In their words: "Dependable, skilled, and committed to delivering quality work." — house, pet and couple portrait commission "Communication was always fast and professional, and every project was completed reliably and on time." "Professional, patient, and incredibly skilled throughout the entire project." Across 32 Upwork projects at a 97% Job Success Score, the strength clients select most often is Committed to Quality, followed by Clear Communicator and Reliable. That is not an accident of temperament — it is sketch approval before any painting starts, replies within 0–4 hours, and a 4–6 working day turnaround that I quote as a date, not a range. Send me the photo of your venue, house or pet and I'll tell you within a few hours exactly how it will look painted, what it costs, and when it will be ready. Also available for premium fantasy board game illustration (playmats, cards, tokens) and hand-painted logo and brand identity work.

I am a freelance digital illustrator and character designer. Everything I create is entirely hand-drawn digitally to give projects a warm, expressive, and human feel. My work spans book publishing, commercial product packaging, and educational media. I easily adapt my drawing style to match the exact tone you need—whether that is a rich, textured painterly look or clean, bold vector art. A few highlights of my professional work: Book Publishing: Illustrated Twins in the City by Dr. Alice Goodwin (featured in the New York Times) and the new edition of Max Loves Muñecas by Zetta Elliott. Commercial Branding: Designed the custom product packaging and book illustrations for The Great Grandie project. Educational Media: Developed curriculum assets and storybooks for Dill Purple Geniuses, EdInquiry, and Turning Teen. I handle the entire creative pipeline from initial character sketches and layout storyboards to final, print-ready files. Let's collaborate and bring your next project to life!
