A piece of original
art that will be

lifetime.

More than a picture — a keepsake for childhood and beyond

Each piece is hand painted by me in my Devon studio, using traditional watercolours to create something personal, meaningful, and made to be treasured for years to come.

What makes these gifts special....

Hand painted

Each piece begins in a Devon studio, with paper, paint, and time. The artwork is not printed or assembled in batches; it is painted by hand, one at a time.

Personalised gifts for children and adults

When someone chooses a painting, they are not ordering from a system, but commissioning an artist. There is a conversation, an understanding, and a sense of trust. That relationship is felt in the finished work.

Keepsake quality

Something that grows with a child, carries memories, and, in time, becomes a small family heirloom.

Bespoke design

A beloved pet might tuck itself between the curves of a letter. A place that feels like home may find its way into the background. These details are chosen with care, so the painting belongs to one child, one family, and no other.

This is the second framed baby name picture we’ve ordered for my Grandchildren and I’m so pleased with them both. They’re so well painted imaginative and original. I also very much appreciated the personal contact we received to make sure the picture was just what we wanted it even included a likeness to our own dog.

This is now the seventh time we have ordered a name picture from Kate celebrating each of our grandchildren’s births. The quality is excellent, when we have needed to include something specific this has always been accommodated. I cannot recommend highly enough

I could not have been more delighted with the picture that Kate painted for my grand daughter - her detail and also her customer service was wonderful and I am very grateful as the picture was a great success!!

The process

Each name painting is individually desinged for you, and can include bespoke elements such as pets, family members, or special places.

You are involved in the design process throughout, and will be kept updated with progress

They can be framed in white or wooden frames. The frames are made in the UK and have acrylic 'glass' for safely.

The paintings are first sketched onto thick watercolour paper using your reference photos of pets/toys etc, and including any items you would like featured.

The drawings are inked with permanent black ink and then painted with archival quality artists watercolours.

Finally they are finished with coloured pencil details (and sparkly bits if you would like!)

Work in progress...

All Kate's name paintings are handpainted to order, and can include all sorts of special details related to you family.

The background can include locations, pets can hide amongst the letters, and Kate can even include a likeness of the child and their siblings.

This bespoke personalised wall art makes a truly special keepsake, and a timeless gift for a new baby, christening, or nursery — something made to be kept, loved, and handed down.
