Bespoke Handpainted Baby Name Paintings
Original watercolour artwork, individually designed and painted by hand in Devon.
A timeless keepsake to welcome a new baby into the world — created by Kate Garrett, just for them.
Original. Handpainted. Entirely Unique.
Every name painting begins with a blank sheet of fine watercolour paper and your chosen name.
There are no templates and no printed letters waiting to be filled in. Each design is carefully composed and painted by hand, letter by letter, illustration by illustration. The balance of colour, the placement of each tiny detail, the character in every animal or object — all are considered so the finished painting feels joyful, harmonious and full of life.
This is not mass-produced nursery décor. It is a genuine, original painting created especially for your child.
Designed Around Your Story
Your painting can reflect the things that matter most to your family — the countryside you love, the animals you grew up with, the dreams you hold for your child.

When choosing a bespoke baby name painting, many families wish to understand exactly how the process works and what makes a handpainted piece so special.
Below you will find answers to common questions about commissioning an original watercolour name picture, including sizing, themes, framing and delivery.
Can I choose my own theme?
Absolutely. You may select from popular themes such as farm animals, woodland creatures, fairies, jungle animals or seaside scenes — or suggest something entirely personal to your family. Each painting is designed around your wishes. See some design ideas HERE
Can you include pets, family homes or special details?
Yes. Many families choose to include their house, pets, favourite toys or meaningful details within the design. These small touches make the painting even more personal and unique.
What size should I choose?
As a general guide:
• 12 × 10 inches – Names up to 4 letters
• 14 × 10 inches – Names up to 6 letters
• 16 × 10 inches – Names up to 8 letters
• 20 × 10 inches – Longer names
• 20 × 16 inches – Multi-level or more detailed designs
If you are unsure, advice is always happily given to ensure the painting feels beautifully balanced. Feel free to ask!
Will I see the painting before it is sent?
Yes. Progress photographs are sent during creation so you may see your painting take shape. This ensures you feel confident and delighted before it is carefully wrapped and dispatched.
How is the painting presented?
Yes. Every name painting is individually designed and handpainted in watercolour from scratch. There are no templates, no printed lettering and no digital elements. Each piece is an original work of art created especially for your child. I do have printed names with art taken from my original watercolours if you are looking for a lower budget oprion.
Do you really plant a tree with every order?
Yes. For every bespoke baby name painting commissioned, a tree is planted through Ecologi.
It is a small but meaningful way to mark the beginning of a new life. As each painting is created slowly and by hand, it feels only right that something lasting should also be given back. Through Ecologi, trees are planted in carefully managed reforestation projects around the world, helping to restore habitats and support communities.
When you order a handpainted name picture, you are not only welcoming a child with a personal piece of art — you are also planting something that will grow alongside them.
Are your baby name paintings truly handpainted?
Each name painting is mounted and framed, ready to hang in the nursery. Mount options include a soft off-white single mount, a coordinating double mount, or a decorated mount that echoes elements from the design. I do offer a non framed option if you would prefer to have it framed yourself. Mounts and frames
How long does it take?
As each painting is created by hand, time is needed for careful composition and drying between layers. Current timescales are shown at the point of ordering, and updates are provided along the way. Usually it is between 3 and 4 weeks.
What if I change my mind?
If at the progress stage you feel the painting is not right for you, this can be discussed before it is sent. The aim is always for you to be completely happy with your finished piece.
Is this a suitable luxury baby gift?
Yes. A bespoke handpainted name painting makes a meaningful and lasting personalised baby gift for a new baby, christening, naming ceremony or first birthday. It is often chosen by grandparents and godparents seeking something truly special.
Where are the paintings created?
All paintings are designed and handpainted in Devon by Kate Garrett, using traditional watercolour techniques and quality materials.
