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.

Yes. For every bespoke baby name painting commissioned, a tree is planted through Ecologi.

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.

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
