Hi, I'm Haike. I'm a multi-disciplined artist focused on creating art from your photographs. In an era of phone selfies, and boxes of photos collecting dust, I believe in creating artwork that gets those moments off of hard drives so you can actually enjoy them.
"Oh gosh, Haike, I'm madly in love with your beautiful creation... WELL DONE!" – Patti Harburn (recent custom portrait client)
WORK WITH ME | CUSTOM ART
Dreaming of turning some of your favourite photos into hand painted artwork? Let's work together. We can get started in just 3 easy steps.
- BOOK A DISCOVERY CALL - Email me to book a call to discuss the scope and subject of your project
- CHOOSE YOUR SIZE AND MEDIUM - Would you like watercolour, charcoal or acrylic and what size would you like your finished piece to be?
- PAY YOUR DEPOSIT - I will email you the details so we are both on the same page and you pay a 50% deposit to get your project started.
I get it. It can be scary to hire an artist for custom work.
What if they get it wrong? That's why I have built "check-ins" into my process to make sure we are on the same page the whole way. My business has been built entirely on delivering artworks that delight, resulting in repeat customers, testimonials and referrals. You are in the right place!
I truly enjoy the collaboration process and the challenge of getting not only a likeness, but the feelings my clients describe. Using your photos as inspiration, I strive to capture the whole story. Together, we can create artworks that honour your memories and personal journey.
Now taking commissions for Summer 2025
You have an idea and you're ready to get started.
But you're not sure how. You've got thousands of photos on your phone, maybe old photos in albums or boxes.
How do you sort them and appreciate the ones that really resonate.
That's where I come in.
I am a storyteller fuelled by graphite and paint. I spend my days weaving memories and wonder into works of art that take you on a ride of emotions and imagination. Whether creating art from my own memories, painting original commissions for my clients, or teaching "Wine & Watercolours" workshops, I believe everyone has stories to tell. Together, we'll turn your memories into treasured art through your choice of graphite, charcoal, watercolours, or acrylics.
I'm currently splitting my time between North Delta B.C. and Zihuatanejo, Mexico. I'm also incredibly excited to be a new partner with Arts Off Main Gallery in Vancouver and enjoy getting the chance to meet and talk with some of my collectors. I love to take on commissions and develop collections for release on my website and the gallery. You can learn about new work (and whatever else I'm up to) by signing up for my newsletter.
I am also a proud teacher and supporter of the Art In Dark Spaces programs and the Food Bank in Zihuatanejo, Mexico (run by the amazing Elizabeth Brady). We raise money for scholarships and take food and clothing donations to help support families with food insecurity.
