The process

How it works

Three simple steps from your memories to a finished piece — and Ashleigh’s full attention the whole way, because she takes just 2 commissions a month.

1 · Choose a package

Check which months are open, pick your slot, and check out securely.

2 · Share your memories

Answer gentle prompts for 30–50 moments — people, places, and the small details that matter.

3 · Receive your artwork

Ashleigh hand-draws your story and delivers a finished, personal keepsake to treasure.

What to expect

Booking your month

Commissions are booked by the month, not the day — each piece takes weeks of drawing. The commission page shows which months are open. We need at least 2 weeks’ notice to start, and ideally 4.

Sharing your memories

Once your month is booked, you’ll receive a private questionnaire with gentle prompts for 30–50 moments — the people, places, jokes, songs, and small details that make your story yours. Take your time; the richer the detail, the richer the drawing.

The drawing

Ashleigh weaves your memories into a single hand-drawn ink composition. You’ll see the piece and have one round of revisions before it’s finalised.

Delivery

You receive a high-resolution digital file — free worldwide — with fine-art prints as an optional add-on, shipped from New Zealand.
