Watercolours, by hand

The homes that hold our stories.

I'm Laura Laurie — a watercolour artist painting bespoke portraits of the houses people love. The family home passed down. The cottage from a summer long ago. The address that still shows up in dreams.

A note from the artist
"Painting a home is an act of gratitude for the stories it held."

Each portrait is rendered patiently in transparent watercolour on archival paper, one wash at a time. No two are alike — your home, your light, your weather.
