Bespoke Illustration & Watercolour Painting
Beautiful, bespoke illustrations, showing off the places you love capturing atmosphere and memories in a way photography alone cannot.
Working in hand-drawn line and watercolour, I create bespoke illustrations that are elegant, expressive, and deeply personal. Each piece is designed to reflect not just what something looks like, but how it feels — whether that is the character of a historic venue, the warmth of a family home, or the spirit of a celebration.
These illustrations are often commissioned for weddings, luxury events, and special occasions, where attention to detail matters. They offer something unmistakably considered: a visual statement that goes beyond templates and trends, and signals care, craft, and individuality.
Product Packaging Illustration & Design
Bespoke illustration brings depth, personality, and distinction to product packaging.
I work closely with brands to create hand-drawn illustrations that enhance packaging design and give products a stronger visual presence — whether for a new launch or a thoughtful brand refresh. Illustration allows packaging to tell a story, creating an immediate emotional connection and a more memorable, shareable identity.
This approach is particularly suited to luxury, heritage, and craft and quality-led brands seeking to stand out through attention to detail.
Historic Venue Illustration
Historic venue illustrations are among my most requested commissions.
Rendered in fine line and watercolour, these bespoke artworks celebrate architecture, setting, and atmosphere. They are frequently used for wedding stationery, welcome signage, order of service booklets, table centrepieces, and keepsake prints.
An illustrated venue offers guests an immediate sense of place — a quiet expression of thoughtfulness and care that elevates the entire event.
Pet Portraits
Our animal companions hold a unique place in our lives, and a hand-drawn portrait offers a lasting way to honour that bond.
Pet portraits are available in pencil, ink, pastel, or watercolour, each chosen to best reflect the character and expression of the subject. Whether playful, gentle, or quietly dignified, each portrait is created with sensitivity and attention to detail.
Home Portraits
A home portrait captures more than architecture — it preserves memories, belonging, and continuity.
These illustrations are often commissioned to mark milestones such as weddings, anniversaries, house moves, or family celebrations. Executed in the same refined line and watercolour style, they become meaningful keepsakes, equally suited to display or use within stationery and printed materials.
Illustrated Maps
Illustrated maps offer both beauty and clarity, combining practical guidance with visual storytelling.
They are particularly popular for destination weddings and events, helping guests navigate a location while immersing them in its character. Each map is entirely bespoke, tailored to the geography, landmarks, and tone of the occasion.
“I have been in event management and hospitality for more than three decades and found that Michela’s artistic skills were matched by her professionalism, eye for detail and communication skills. I would recommend her without hesitation.”
