ABOUT

Us

I want to make art and unique hand crafted work more accessible to the every day person who wants to decorate their home with beautiful pieces without the thousand to million dollar price tag. 

Hi, my name is Sumaiya,

Welcome to my website

I was born and raised in a busy little city in Yorkshire, England. In 2016 I married my wonderful husband, and moved to sunny California. I have a degree in Optometry (a profession that I loved) but my heart has always been in art, creativity and design. I stopped painting for a few years, but I was inspired to pick up the paintbrush again when I became pregnant with my first baby. I began painting monthly paintings for him to take pictures alongside each month. Slowly, I found myself exploring different materials, from canvas bags to wooden signs and other little projects. With the help of my husband, I started designing and creating custom home decorations.

Our home is full of custom DIY’d furniture and decorations, from tables and benches to large paintings or engraved wooden designs. Our little family is always excited to work on new projects and design fun decor together.

We decided to take our hobby to the next level and start a little shop. In our shop you’ll find many different handcrafted pieces of work, created by myself or my husband. Your order is very important to us, we personally hand craft each piece with love, care, and attention to detail. Most items can be personalized by engraving names, date of birth or whatever you like to make it uniquely yours. These perfect finishing touches create a truly unique, memorable keepsake or gift. I am also offering custom artwork for anyone looking to gift a loved one something personal and memorable. See my shop for examples of custom portraits and other work.

My Mission

Why I do what I do

I enjoy painting in my free time and art is my window to a world of whimsy and wonder. I love the reaction people have when they see my work, hearing ‘wow! You made that?!’ brings me so much joy and satisfaction and inspires me to keep creating. I want to share what I make with others who appreciate creative artwork and anyone who wants to add a timeless touch of magic to their space with handmade art. 

I also love giving and receiving personalized handmade gifts, so artwork specific to a person or a memory are especially rewarding for me to make. Custom Portraits gifted for birthdays, anniversaries or wedding are amongst some of my best received, and the reactions after gifting them make them all the more rewarding to paint.

Sometimes I find myself with so much creative energy that I don’t know what to do with it. I want to use it to make art that inspires others, I want to paint pieces that are personal to individuals that they will love and cherish. I want to capture moments and memories and tell stories in my own words of art, and I hope everyone who sees my work feels as much joy as I do when creating them. 

Some of My Personal Favourites

My first huge painting

This guy hangs behind my dining table and measures around 30''x45''. Not for sale but I am happy to paint you something similar.

Memories of Pakistan

Inspired by my trips to my home country as a child, when everything was simple and traditional.

Custom Portraits

I gifted this painting of my Husband and our Husky to him on his birthday. It is one of my favourite paintings ever.

Art will never go out of style. Become a collector and fill your home with meaningful handcrafted one-of-a-kind art pieces painted with care and passion. I hope you love what you see as much as I enjoyed creating them.
