Illustrated House & Shop Portraits

From my little coastal studio in Tasmania, I create whimsical portraits of homes and shopfronts all over Australia. From childhood houses, family beach shacks, to bustling cafes and pubs, each building portrait captures the stories and memories of the places that you love most.

I also draw Tassie’s best places and bring the island magic to life through my illustrated products.

Hey! I’m Sammy.

I’m an Illustrator living on Tassie’s North West Coast with my husband and our little wildling. I love salty beach days, exploring our pristine national parks, and supporting the small businesses that keep Tasmania buzzing.

What began as a little creative spark has grown into a heartfelt business built around connection to place and home. I now draw buildings for wonderful people right across Australia! (I still have those “I can’t believe I actually get to do this” moments.)

My iconic style makes architecture pop, creating building portraits that spark smiles, happy tears, and stories you haven’t heard in years. These custom portraits are far more special than anything you’ll find mass produced.

Whether it’s your first home, a treasured family shack, or the small business you’ve poured your heart into, every portrait is made to capture connection and the feeling of home.

I only take on a handful of commissions each month, so if your special place deserves a touch of Island Home magic, all I need are some photos. I’ll turn them into a meaningful, sentimental portrait that captures the heart of your story.
