I’m so glad you’re here.

I paint the places where your memories live — the front porch you grew up on, the park where you met, the chapel where you said ‘I do”, the house you’re raising your babies in. 

Let’s turn your most meaningful moments into art.

Welcome to my studio!

From Memory to Masterpiece

1. Share your story

We begin with connection. You tell me about the special place or memory you’d like me to paint — what it means to you, who it’s for, and why it matters.

Once you're ready, we’ll move forward with a signed contract and paid invoice to officially reserve your spot on my calendar.

2. Book your painting

3. Send your photos

You’ll provide clear reference photos of the home, place, or scene you’d like painted — I’ll use these to capture the heart and details of your piece.

This is where the magic happens. I carefully translate your memory into watercolor, paying attention to the colors, details, and emotion behind it.

5. Delivery

In 4–6 weeks, your custom piece will be ready to ship — carefully packaged and ready to be loved, displayed, and treasured for years to come.

“Working with Justine was a breeze. I told her what my vision was for our watercolor painting and included a few reference pictures and wow did she deliver. The little details she put into the painting made our dream come to life, and the painting was of such high quality. Justine was so nice to work with and delivered on the timeline. Thank you so much Justine”

“I’ve had the pleasure of working with Justine on multiple custom artwork projects, and every single time she blows me away. She has an incredible ability to truly understand my vision, no matter how vague or specific my ideas are, and brings them to life in the most beautiful way. She’s always been so reliable and timely, making sure l receive the products when expected. What I love most is supporting small businesses like hers because her passion and talent shine through in everything she does. I can’t recommend Justine enough—if you want something truly special, she’s the artist to go to!”

- Ciera

“I had the absolute pleasure of working with Justine from The Loveliest Design to create three custom watercolor paintings of a very special home that had been in my clients’ family for decades. These were gifts for siblings who had just sold their late sister’s home, and I wanted something that would honor her memory in a personal and meaningful way. Justine captured the essence and beauty of the home perfectly. Every detail from the iconic palm trees to the welcoming front entry, was brought to life with care and creativity. The final pieces were stunning, thoughtfully packaged, and shipped with the utmost care. Her communication was clear, the turnaround was timely, and the entire experience felt organic and trustworthy. When choosing someone to create something so sentimental, it’s important to know they’ll truly deliver—and Justine absolutely did. I sent a single photo and pointed out the elements I hoped to highlight, and she brought it to life beautifully. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to give a heartfelt, timeless gift. These paintings are now cherished heirlooms for a very deserving family. Needless to say, this won’t be the last time I reach out to Justine!”

“Justine created a hand-drawn watercolor of the cafe I first met my husband, it is such a special gift for the both of us. I love her work and am so grateful we now have such a meaningful keepsake from her in our home.”

- Diana S

“Justine is wildly talented in a way that she makes look effortless and natural. I knew I was in good hands and that made me feel very comfortable working alongside her. I gave her an idea and she ran with it, exceeding my expectations. She was professional, kind and confident! She is a true artist Thank you Justine!”

- Molly

I’ve loved to draw and paint for as long as I can remember — it’s always been a part of me. Now, as a mom of two sweet boys, I’m especially grateful to be creating in this season of life that’s full of love, chaos, and inspiration. Painting has become more than a passion — it’s a way for me to connect with people and the moments that matter most to them. I feel so honored every time someone shares a piece of their story with me. Whether it’s a childhood home, a wedding venue, or the place two people first met, I do my best to capture the emotion behind the scene. It’s a joy to turn those memories into something lasting

When her parents had to let go of their sweet Massachusetts home, it wasn’t just about selling a house — it was about closing a chapter. After her father suffered two strokes, the family moved to Florida so he could receive long-term rehab care. While it was the right decision, it came with grief, especially for her mother, who had to say goodbye to the place that held decades of memories.

As a Mother’s Day gift, she reached out and asked if I could paint their old home — a way to give her mom something tangible to hold onto. A piece of the past, preserved in watercolor.

This is the soul of custom art: turning memories into something you can touch, feel, and treasure.

A Home Worth Remembering

What started as a simple breakfast date turned into something unforgettable. Justin picked Riverside, not knowing it was her late father’s favorite spot — the place he used to take her and her brother when they were little.

She didn’t even know they served breakfast. Funny enough, Justin used to work there in high school.

Now, it’s become their place. They still go once a month, imagining her dad smiling down, probably wishing he could have a slice of pizza.

Because some places don’t just hold memories —
they become part of the love story.

Riverside & Invisible Strings

Last May, she lost her grandmother — a woman who had been the heartbeat of their family. This house was her sanctuary, a place she loved with every fiber of her being. Now, it carries even more weight.

Three generations have grown up within these walls. It’s where life unfolded — where stories began, laughter echoed, and new chapters took root.

Honoring this home through custom artwork became a way to keep her grandmother close. A celebration of legacy, love, and the spaces that hold us.

More Than a Home

Letting go of a loved one’s home is never easy. After their sister passed, this family had to say goodbye to a place that held so many pieces of her — her spirit, her stories, her warmth. Their real estate agent, who had walked alongside them through the process, gifted them three custom paintings as a way to honor that space.

One of them shared:

“This painting brought me to tears. I will proudly display this beautiful picture of my sister's home on the wall of my home and hopefully it will remain in my family for generations to come.”

A Sister’s Home, Remembered

After their home was flooded during Hurricane Helen, repairs brought the structure back — but not the sense of safety. The fear of another flood has made it impossible to stay, and now, they’re preparing to say goodbye to the place they love most.

This painting became a way to hold onto the beauty, the warmth, and the memories made inside those walls — even when they couldn’t keep the home itself.

Because sometimes, a painting is more than art.
It’s a goodbye. It’s a love letter.
It’s a way to never forget.

Creating art is a gift God placed in me, and I share it to reflect His light and love. I believe special moments deserve to live on — not just in memory or photos, but in something lasting. My hope is that each painting brings warmth, meaning, and a sense of home every time you see it.
