Bespoke house portraits and quality gifts
Hello and welcome, I specialise in creating beautiful house portraits in ink and watercolour. I love creating bespoke paintings tailored to your exact wishes. Maybe it's a treasured childhood home complete with a garden you remember as a child or your current house which you're having to sell and you want to capture those happy memories. All I need is a photo and your ideas.
I can also create a beautiful painting of your wedding venue in my signature ink and watercolour style. The first anniversary of a wedding is Paper, which is perfect for a house portrait. Just throw me your ideas!
Having lovely things at home makes you smile and creates that happy feeling as soon as you step through the door

Let customers speak for us
from 98 reviewsA dream come trueJan has created the most beautiful painting of my brother's wedding venue, we are so incredibly grateful. The detail is outstanding — the range of colours, the flowers on the grass, even the time on the clocktower — it's truly a gift for life. The whole process was very straightforward from start to finish, Jan is a great communicator and took great care of our requests. Would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for a special work of art that carries meaning for you. Thank you so much Jan.
Alexander Walker08/26/2026Perfect service for a perfect PictureWas seemless process. Jan did exactly what I asked even when I was being specific about flowers in the window boxes and where the picture should end (was a row of buildings) . She keep me updated with timings and drafts of the picture and wording.
Super pleased with my picture….hope the Happy Couple I got it for are just as pleased ❤️

Highly recommendedI had a lovely experience commissioning a painting of a wedding venue. The communication with Jan was easy and professional, and the end result is simply stunning. It was the perfect gift for my best friend on her wedding, and I’m so pleased with the quality of the work. Highly recommended!
IG07/15/2026Stunning wedding venue portraitCould not be happier with the painting of Bury Court from Jan. Her communication at every step of the process was great, she was completely open to ideas, details and specifics and happy to chat through options on sizing and what would be captured in the potrait. The finished painting not only looks stunning, but has many personal details and seasonal touches which made it feel really bespoke. Could not recommend her enough and much better than a generic potrait from Etsy!
Joel Bough-Sanders05/28/2026Perfect wedding presentThis is the second time I have used Jan, and the second venue portrait is just as brilliant as the first. The couple love it, and I am so happy they have such a lovely piece to remember their day by. Thank you again Jan!

Beautiful house painting and positive experienceThe whole process from start to finish was hugely positive. Jan was quick to get in touch once I had placed my order and the communication was brilliant. I was so pleased with the final result of the house painting, surpassed my expectations. I gave it to my partner for his birthday and he loved it. Really really recommend.
Beth Barker02/12/2026Fantastic PaintingWe absolutely love the painting of our grandparents house, it is so beautifully done, and is so lovely to have since we had to sell the house. Jan pulled together our favourite things of the house and absolutely did them justice in the painting. Jan gave us frequent updates on the progress of the painting and sent us pictures before sending it out. We really appreciated the great communication. Thank you for the wonderful painting!!

Wow - better than imagined!House portrait for a gift. Jan communicated with us throughout the process, and the finished product was even better than we could have anticipated. Excellent attention to detail, use of colour, and Jan included all the little requests we asked for. Jan is a very talented artist.
C.12/02/2025Wonderful House PaintingJan’s painting of our house is absolutely beautiful. She has perfectly captured the scale and small details very well. The colours and artistry really bring the painting to life. I can’t recommend her enough!
Nicole Wilcock11/10/2025A Heartfelt Thank You!Hi Jan,
What can I say….absolutely stunning!
I am so happy and I know my friends will be too. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if they don’t shed a tear or two.
Thank you so much and I will definitely be back in touch once our own house has had a face lift and I’ll get you to paint that.
I appreciate all the efforts you made in ensuring the painting arrived in time for me to get it mounted and framed ready for its trip to Australia next Wednesday.
I will send you through a photo of it at its final destination!Kind regards and many thanks,
Roxanne x

First classI'm thrilled with the painting I commissioned from Jan. She has captured our building perfectly, and the painting will serve as a fabulous memory of our first home. She has a wonderful style, and was a dream to work with: helpful over email and able to work from iPhone photographs. I am really looking forward to hanging it in our new house. Thanks Jan!
Nick A09/29/2025Blown Away! Incredible Wedding Venue Portrait!I commissioned Jan to paint our Lake District wedding venue as a 1-year anniversary gift for my wife and it is everything and more I was hoping for. Before finding Jan, I had wasted money on what was sold as a “watercolour portrait” but was actually an AI-generated image with no soul. My only regret is not finding Jan sooner.
From the very start, Jan made the whole experience a joy. She sent me an initial pencil sketch so I could check every detail before she moved to ink and watercolour. She welcomed my feedback, offered thoughtful suggestions, and kept me updated at every stage so I always knew exactly how the piece was progressing.
Jan’s hand-painted work has incredible depth, texture and character, and it has genuinely blown my wife and I away. She captured the venue perfectly, from the soft Lake District light to the smallest architectural details that hold so much meaning for us. It feels alive, as if she has bottled the atmosphere of our wedding day in paint.
This is worth every penny. Jan is a professional, high-quality artist who produces exceptional portraits. It is not just purchasing a painting, it is capturing a timeless memory that will be cherished for a lifetime.
The portrait arrived beautifully packaged and in perfect condition, and it is now one of my wife and I’s most treasured possessions. It is a timeless reminder of the happiest day of our lives. Jan’s talent, care and attention to detail are second to none and I could not recommend her highly enough.
Thank you Jan
James G08/12/2025Lovely PaintingThe painting produced was wonderful and made a great gift. Jan kept me informed through the whole process. Would absolutely commission again.
M.07/19/2025Fantastic GiftWanted to say a massive thank you to Jan. The watercolour she created as a wedding gift is fantastic; I'm so happy with how it turned out and couldn't recommend her highly enough! Thanks again
Alexander Pay07/08/2025Highly recommend!!We commissioned a custom painting of the Bodleian Library as a wedding gift for our Director, and I couldn’t be more thrilled with how it turned out! The level of detail is stunning, and it captured everything we had hoped for – and more. Jan was an absolute pleasure to work with – so easy to communicate with and incredibly helpful throughout the whole process. It felt like a truly personal and collaborative experience. We’re so delighted with the final piece and know it will make a very special and meaningful gift. Thank you again!
