The Artist

Turn your aquarium into a one-of-a-kind piece of art.

Send me your favourite photos of your fish and I’ll hand-paint them in watercolour, creating an original artwork made especially for you.

Whether it’s one very loved little fish or your whole aquarium family, each piece is individually painted by hand in my Brisbane studio.

After ordering, you’ll be asked to provide clear reference photos of your fish and any special requests you’d like me to consider.

As every portrait is completely custom and hand-painted, colours, markings and details will be recreated in my own watercolour style rather than as an exact photographic reproduction.

Your portrait includes:
• An original hand-painted watercolour artwork
• Your chosen number of fish
• Your choice of available size
• Protective packaging for your original artwork
• A truly one-of-a-kind piece, no reproductions of your custom portrait will be sold without your permission

Please allow approximately 2–6 weeks for your custom artwork to be created before shipping depending on size and detail.

Your fish will be individually hand-painted in watercolour from your reference photos, capturing its beautiful colours, markings and personality in my signature watercolour style.

This listing is for one fish and is available in A5 or A4.

You will receive the ORIGINAL hand-painted watercolour artwork — this is not a print. Your painting will be completely unique and created especially for you.

After placing your order, please provide clear reference photos of your fish. The better the photos, the more detail I can capture!

Please note that as this is a handmade watercolour portrait, the finished artwork will be my artistic interpretation of your reference images rather than an exact photographic reproduction.

Two or three special little swimmers, painted just for you.

Painted on A4 watercolour paper.

You will receive the ORIGINAL hand-painted watercolour artwork — not a print or reproduction. There will only ever be one!

After ordering, please provide clear reference photos of both fish. Individual photos are completely fine — they don't need to be photographed together.

Please note that your finished painting will be created in my own watercolour style and is an artistic interpretation rather than an exact photographic reproduction.

Custom Full Aquarium Composition Artwork

Your entire aquarium will be carefully recreated by hand in watercolour, capturing the fish, plants, rocks, driftwood, substrate and little details that make your underwater world uniquely yours.

Using your reference photos, I’ll create a detailed artistic interpretation of your aquarium in my signature watercolour style, a beautiful keepsake of the little ecosystem you’ve created.

Available sizes:

You will receive the ORIGINAL hand-painted watercolour artwork — this is not a print or reproduction. Your painting will be completely unique and created especially for you.

After ordering, please provide several clear photos of your aquarium, including a full front-facing image and any additional close-ups that show your fish and important details. The clearer your reference photos, the more accurately I can capture your aquarium.

Before painting begins, I will create a composition sketch for your approval. Once approved, your final watercolour painting will begin.

Please note that your finished piece will be an artistic interpretation of your aquarium in my own watercolour style rather than an exact photographic reproduction.

As these paintings are detailed and created entirely by hand, please allow approximately 3–6 weeks for your custom artwork to be completed before shipping.

A little piece of your underwater world, painted just for you. 💙
