Commissions

"After my mum passed away, a friend gave me the most beautiful gift—a stunning watercolour painting of my mum and me by the talented Em. It was such a thoughtful idea, and Em beautifully captured the special bond I shared with my mum.

I was so touched that I wanted my dad and sisters to feel the same way, so I arranged for their own personalised paintings with mum by Em. 

Em was wonderful to work with, she was organised, gathered all the details, photos, favourite colours and flowers. All of which she used to create a piece of personalised art we will cherish forever. 

 She was very realistic about the time frame, which is so reassuring to know how much time and energy Em puts into each piece. This is evident in the final edit, beautiful custom-made art for yourself or as a gift to someone you care about."

Five years after her wedding, she was still carefully drying her bridal bouquet, holding onto the flowers that had walked down the aisle with her.

Then, while the family was away on holiday, her father-in-law decided to do a little tidy-up.

The bouquet was accidentally thrown away.

What had once been carefully preserved with memory, was suddenly gone.

This commission was created from photographs of her wedding day, capturing the shape, colour, and delicate details of the original bouquet. Painted in watercolour, each bloom was reimagined as a lasting keepsake, something that couldn’t crumble or fade with time.

While nothing replaces the original flowers, this illustration became something new: a permanent reminder of that day, the vows exchanged, the hands held, and the beginning of a marriage.
