These homes are hand-drawn in pencil and completed with Micron pens. A pen and ink drawing makes a personal, unique and treasured gift. I draw sizes 5x7 or 8x10 on acid free illustration board. Each comes with a standard sized white mat.
My client gifted this home to her sister in law. I love all the brick in this piece.
This home was drawn for my client’s parents. My first home was a split level, so this was special to draw.

My cousin gifted this home to her friend who moved away. I hope it brings joy and comfort each time she looks at it!
This was a gift for my client’s son and daughter in law. The garage was an important part of the commission. It is not in the original photo, but I was able to add it in. This front porch has charm from the lanterns, front door and welcoming seating!

This home has a great story. It was built by the client’s wife’s great grandfather and has been in the same family ever since. While drawing, I counted 4 different brick/stone patterns. It is a beautifully crafted/designed home, and it was an honor to draw it for the family to gift at Christmas.
The different variety of shades of the brick on this home were fun to draw. The wreath, potted plants and front yard tree were important features to my client.
This home was a joy to draw. The owner commissioned it as a gift to her husband. Per her request, I added in the rope swing as well as their beloved dog. This home had fun textures and lovely trees; it’s my definition of cozy!
This was my first vertical house drawing. The owners moved and wanted a memento of their previous home. I adored drawing this piece, especially the unique windows and worded address numbers. It would be lovely to sit and enjoy a cup of tea of this porch!
I had the honor of drawing this for a childhood friend. This porch is super cozy with the asymmetrical brick work lining the front door, hanging lantern and chairs ready to welcome visitors.
This commission was a gift for my client’s parents. Her childhood home had changed over the years, but she wanted to incorporate the home’s original charm. I changed the door, added flowers and the scalloped address sign to the planter and drew back in the pine tree in the front yard. To make these changes, she provided me with photos from her childhood. It was fun to put all the pieces together to create a drawing full of beautiful memories for her family.
This home was a joy to draw. It was a gift for my client’s parents who had moved. The tree was an important part of the commission; much childhood climbing happening in that space. This home has charm from the stone work to the roof to the woodwork above the windows.
