Turn a cherished place, family home, favourite landmark or special memory into a beautiful, hand-drawn original artwork.
I create highly detailed graphite pencil drawings of buildings, street scenes, landscapes, interiors and more — with a focus on the character and soul of places in Lancashire, Cumbria and across the United Kingdom. Whether the location still exists today or lives only in old photographs and memories, each commission is meticulously researched and personally crafted for you.
Popular subjects for custom pencil drawings include:
Your family home or ancestral house
A favourite holiday destination or landmark
Local countryside, churches, bridges or street scenes
Pubs, cafés, historic interiors or landscapes
Commemorative pieces created from old photographs
Every drawing is completely unique and tailored to your vision. Simply provide reference photos or a description, and I will research additional details to ensure accuracy and atmosphere.
A straightforward and transparent process from first inquiry to final delivery:
