COMMERCIAL & ARCHITECTURAL
The places where your story happened, in watercolor.
A custom watercolor portrait of the restaurant where you got engaged, the coffee shop you built a business in, or the storefront you call your own - hand-painted from your photo in my Charleston studio. A meaningful gift and a lasting mark of the places that matter.
Originals from $200

Commission questions
-
Clear, well-lit photos taken straight-on or from a slight angle work best, with signage legible if you'd like it included. Send a few options and I'll help you choose.
-
Yes. If a restaurant has closed or you can't get back to a venue, I can often work from your old photos — or a couple of good reference images from online.
-
Absolutely. Signage and lettering are often the heart of a commercial portrait - I'll render them faithfully so the place is unmistakable.
-
Yes. Restaurants, boutiques, and firms commission portraits for their walls, for staff, or as client gifts. Ask about pricing for a series or a custom size.
-
Of course. I'm happy to coordinate quietly, work from photos you send, and time delivery to the big day.
-
Originals are carefully packaged and shipped flat, fully insured. Local Charleston and Mount Pleasant pickup is also available.
