A painting
of your place.
Send us a few photographs of a place that matters — a childhood home, a wedding venue, the café you went to every Sunday. We'll paint it slowly in jiangnan-style watercolor on warm cotton paper, signed and sealed by hand. From $480, painted in 4–6 weeks. First sketch in 7 days — cancel any time before it lands.

How the studio works.
Hand-painted, slowly.
Every commission is painted by hand in jiangnan-style watercolor on warm cotton paper — no prints, no digital reproductions, no shortcuts.
Watch it being made.
Painting process and finished work are posted to @foldedpetal on TikTok — see the studio at work while you wait.
Yours, only yours.
Each commission is the studio's only copy. Signed, sealed, and mailed in an archival cotton folio — you keep the original, no other prints exist.
