Hey there!

I’m Emily!

Over a decade ago I picked up a brush and ink, named myself Cleverhand, and taught myself the art of brush lettering.

My purpose with Cleverhand is to bring meaning into your home and help you celebrate the people and moments that matter most.

In a fast, filtered world, I’m drawn to what's real - real connection, real conversations, real meaning.

At Cleverhand, I create with intention. Each piece is a one-of-a-kind, hand-painted commission - made slowly, thoughtfully and always by me.

I can’t wait to create something special for you x

 

HAND PAINTING

The original Cleverhand piece.

I hand-paint your chosen words - names, quotes, lyrics, vows or destinations - to create a one-of-a-kind artwork that’s uniquely yours.

Classic, timeless and made by hand, these bespoke paintings remain our best-seller 11 years on.

what you need to know…

How to order:

1. Choose your product (by word count).
Your Cleverhand artwork choice depends on how many words you’d like painted.

  • Some (A4, A3, A2) — up to 30 words. Perfect for short quotes, names or song lyrics.

  • Some Background (A4, A3) — up to 30 words with your choice of colour and design behind the lettering. Beautiful for baby pieces or short quotes.

  • Lots (A4, A3, A2) — 30 to 60 words. Great for family pieces or wedding vows.

  • Heaps (A3, A2) — 60 to 300 words. Ideal for longer vows or full song lyrics.

  • Huge (A2 only) — 300 to 500 words. Best for long readings, speeches or keepsakes.

All A3 and A4 artworks are hand-painted on 300gsm archival art paper and arrive flat and unframed, A2 are hand-painted on 200gsm archival art paper and arrive rolled in a tube. All arrive ready to fit standard frame sizes.
