Beautiful, personalised house illustration
Hello! I’m Anna, a passionate illustrator based in Cardiff, I specialise in turning your home photograph into a beautiful, hand-drawn house illustration.
Whether it’s the house you grew up in, the first home you bought, or a location that holds special memories, my passion is for capturing a building’s character in a unique and artistic way, for you to keep forever!
born out of a passion for architecture and art, I blend technical skill with creative flair to produce illustrations that are truly personal. Each drawing is meticulously crafted to highlight the details and essence that make your home/building special.
How house illustration works
1. Submit your photo
You can give me a photo digitally or by post. Along with details of anything you’d like added or left out!
2. Confirm the angle
I will send you a draft drawing to confirm the final angle and the details to be included.
3. Leave it with me
Work then continues on your house illustration – I detail the intricate colours and unique characteristics and details of your building.
4. The drawing is yours!
When your house illustration is complete, I send it to you in a mount ready for your wall or for gifting!

Case studies
Examples of how my illustrations take shape!
Childhood home
Creating an illustration of my customer's childhood home from a photograph is a meaningful and nostalgic project. By focusing on the house itself and removing the people, the illustration emphasises the architectural details and unique features of the home.
Family home
This personalised piece celebrates new beginnings and provides a lasting memento of the place where countless future memories will be made. As happy as my customer's were to move in, I was asked to take them out and let the building speak for itself!
A piece of history
An illustration of the church where your parents were married captures a pivotal moment in your family's history. Focusing on its architectural details and sentimental value, the drawing becomes a cherished keepsake and a wonderful anniversary gift. This personalised piece preserves the love and memories shared on that special day.
"Anna's house illustration made the perfect Golden Wedding anniversary gift for my parents. They have lived in the same house for 40 years and it has taken that long for them to renovate and develop it into the house it is today. My parents put their heart and soul into it and it holds childhood memories for both myself and my brothers. For Anna to have created a hand drawn illustration of the house is so very special. She is a very talented artist and we are absolutely thrilled with the end result!"
