Unique Painting Gift for a Friend — Skip the Voucher
Skip the voucher. A gift for a friend that is hand-painted has a story, and gets hung on the wall instead of forgotten in a drawer.
Commission a portrait of them or their pet, or choose a bold ready-made painting for the first big wall of their new home.
Gifts friends actually keep
A pet portrait is a favourite: send a clear photo and we paint it by hand. A housewarming statement piece and textured 3D art are conversation-starters in any room.
Birthdays, housewarmings and weddings
Ready-made paintings ship immediately, which suits a last-minute gift. Custom portraits take longer, so order early and approve the preview.
