“My family ordered a custom house portrait for my grandparents when they moved from their historic Victorian home into a retirement community and they now keep it framed in their bedroom. It was such a unique and beautiful gift that captured the love that was shared within their family home before it was time for them to move. I’m so glad they could take a piece of it with them.”
“I’ve been commissioning house portraits from Joy for the past 5 years. I go to her whenever I need a house closing gift for my real estate business. She works efficiently and clients are always touched and impressed with the personalization of their experience with me.”
“Joy’s house pictures feel alive. Her experience in children’s illustration shines through and bring story into the house face. We’ve had her draw our Brooklyn brownstone and Cape Cod house.”
“My wife cried when I gave her the picture of our house for Christmas. The artist included our dog sleeping on the front porch. It was such a special way to honor our marriage and the life we are building together. This is truly an heirloom piece.”
“I had a house illustration done for my newlywed niece when she and her husband bought their first home. When I saw they had it hanging in their entryway, I knew I nailed it. The house picture is completely chaming.”
