I create custom house portraits that capture your home beautifully, making timeless art for you to enjoy.

Hello, I’m Ruby.

I'm a painter and illustrator, based in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada. I proudly served local residents with exquisite art pieces that captivate the imagination. Our reach goes beyond borders, as we have successfully shipped our creations as far as Italy. Our commitment to craftsmanship and creativity knows no bounds, allowing art enthusiasts worldwide to experience the beauty we meticulously craft in every masterpiece.

Every place is different and every home is different, in their physical styles and the memories they hold. A house portrait captures the warmth and personality of what it means to be a home, making it one of the most special and one-of-a-kind gifts you could give. 

Thinking of commissioning a house portrait of your own? Get it touch! I’m happy to answer any questions, queries and concerns and give you my recommendations on any ideas you have. 

​Thanks so much!

Ruby

  • What a beautiful, personal gift! I commissioned a backyard scene of the house my parents raised their family in as a reminder of what a special place it was. My parents haven't lived there for over 5 years now, but they absolutely loved the watercolour and all of the wonderful memories that it brought up. Truly a one of a kind gift! Ruby was so easy to work with and on top of communication. Thanks, Ruby!

  • Ruby did an incredible job on the painting I ordered for my clients’ closing gift! She incorporated very specific touches that I requested beautifully. This was their first home. They are moving away and this will be a great keepsake for them in their new space. My clients were so touched and I couldn’t be happier. I will definitely be coming to her again in the future. Thank you!!

  • When we saw the paintings of homes that Ruby does we knew this is what we needed to help with the transition from our first home to our “forever home”. Ruby did a great job capturing the character of our first home and made the garden come to life (the garden was a super important part of our home). We will be using her services again in the future and highly recommend.

  • The process of ordering my painting was easy from start to finish. I didn’t have a perfect picture to send and Ruby was able to find one. She even painted the trees and shrubs in bloom and it came out more beautiful than I could have imagined. I would highly recommend this as the perfect gift to anyone on your list ❤️
