A little piece of their story, beautifully illustrated.
Every illustration is digitally hand-painted just for you, using the hobbies, memories, places and little details that make someone special.
Meet the Artist
Hi, I’m Anna.
I’ve worked as an artist and designer for over 25 years. My work has included freelance design for Crafts Beautiful magazine, exhibiting and selling original art through galleries, creating commissioned pieces, and teaching creative workshops from my studio and through adult learning programs.
I’m also the author of Hand Painted Rustic Cards, published by Search Press, and have co-authored two further art books published by David & Charles. More recently, I have written and illustrated A Journey Through Grief – an honest and compassionate guide to navigating the loss of a loved one, based on my experience of being widowed at fifty-five.
At the heart of all my work has always been a love of creating something personal and meaningful for someone else.
Each personalised artwork begins with your ideas and photographs. I then bring those details together into an original composition, digitally hand-painted by me in my own gentle watercolour style.
How it works
1. Tell me about them
After ordering, you’ll receive a form by email where you can choose an initial or meaningful number and share around 3–5 interests, hobbies, favourite places or treasured memories that you’d like included.
2. Upload images (optional)
You’ll also have space on the form to upload any photographs or other reference material you’d like me to work from. These simply help me capture important details accurately — they won’t be copied directly.
3. I create your illustration
I’ll bring your ideas together into a completely original composition and digitally hand-paint your artwork in my gentle watercolour style.
4. Receive your artwork
Your finished illustration will be professionally printed onto Bockingford watercolour paper as an A4 art print and carefully packaged, ready to gift, frame and treasure. Lead time is 2-3 weeks.

Every illustration tells a story.
