WATERCOLOR MINIATURIST
FOR THE THINGS THAT MATTER.
A photograph can preserve a moment.
A painting can transform it into something you can live with.
A private commission is an opportunity to take a person, place, animal, object or memory that holds meaning for you and have it interpreted as an original work of art.
Each piece is painted entirely by hand, created specifically for its recipient and made at the intimate scale that defines Sadie's practice.
WHAT BECOMES A MINIATURE?
The subject of a commission can be deeply personal—or wonderfully simple. What matters is that it means something to you.
People
Portraits of someone you love, remember or want to celebrate.
Objects
Heirlooms, jewelry, clothing, books, instruments, collections and other meaningful objects.
Pets & Animals
A beloved companion or an animal that holds a special place in your story.
Moments
A wedding bouquet. A favorite meal. A particular morning. A moment worth remembering.
Places
A childhood home, favorite landscape, travel destination or place you never want to forget.
Foods
Food is memory and culture - it is often at the root of who we are.
Something Else
If it matters to you, let's talk about it.
SMALL IN SCALE.
BIG IN MEANING.
Sadie's signature miniature watercolors measure just 24 × 24 millimeters.
At this scale, an entire image is distilled into a space small enough to hold between two fingers. Every mark matters. Every detail is deliberate.
The result is an intimate original artwork that asks to be held in your attention—to be approached, examined and discovered.

A favorite breakfast.
The house where you grew up.
A pair of worn shoes.
A beloved book.
A family heirloom.
The landscape from a place you return to again and again.
Sometimes a single object can hold an entire story.
