A house sketch as unique as your home - hand-drawn and full of charm!
Hi, I’m Cornelia. I love capturing the character of houses in cheerful, joyful doodles - let me draw your home!
What is Home Sketch Home?
Every home has its own personality, and I love capturing that in a house sketch filled with character, charm, and a little wonkiness!
I create hand-drawn custom home portraits in ink with a playful, imperfect style that celebrates the beauty of real homes. Each house drawing is created on high-quality watercolour paper, making it a truly special keepsake.
These unique pieces make thoughtful presents: housewarming gifts, birthday gifts, anniversary gifts, and Christmas gifts… perfect for that hard-to-buy-for person who already has everything!
Looking for a memorable real estate agent gift? A personalised house drawing is a heartfelt way to thank a client, capturing the home they have just sold or purchased.
How it works…
Simply send me a photo, and I will draw your house with wobbly lines and a lot of heart. Whether it is a custom house portrait of your first home, a family heirloom, or a surprise for a loved one, your house sketch drawing will be as unique as the home itself.
Located in Kerikeri, in the beautiful Bay of Islands, I ship New Zealand-wide, so you can enjoy a hand-drawn house portrait no matter where you live.

Hi! I’m Cornelia and I draw houses…
Having grown up on a steady diet of Garfield and Snoopy cartoons as a kid, I saw everyday objects outlined in black. Imagine my surprise when my high school art teacher pointed out that real life has no black outlines - what the…?! That can’t be right!
To me, things just look more fun and joyous with black outlines. Many years later, I went on to publish my own cartoon dog books (yes, I’m a crazy dog lady), and I now enjoy drawing cheerful, doodle-style portraits in ink, capturing the charm and personality of every home.
Home has always been my anchor. It’s where I feel safe, where I work, and where my dogs curl up beside me. Homes hold our stories, and I love capturing those stories on paper - one wonky house sketch at a time.
Me and my dog, Mac.
