Hello, I’m Sammy. I live in a charming seaside town on Tasmania’s beautiful North West Coast. I’m the Artist behind Townfoolery Illustrations.

For years, I worked in Tasmania’s property industry, surrounded by houses, contracts, and settlement dates. I love homes, not just as buildings, but as places filled with stories and memories. In 2020, I picked up my pens, rediscovered my creativity, and started drawing houses. Not just for fun, but to capture the memories of the places I’d lived.

Each home held a story, a feeling, a moment in time I didn’t want to forget, and I realised I wasn’t alone in that. Homes aren’t just walls and roofs, they’re where life happens.

I started my business, turning my passion into something that could help others hold onto their own memories too.

Now, I create house portraits that go beyond capturing bricks and mortar- they’re time capsules, filled with the love, laughter, and stories that turn a house into a home.

A house portrait is the kind of gift that sparks smiles, happy tears, and stories you haven’t heard in years.

I take on just four commissions a month, so if you’d love to turn your home into a piece of art, let’s make it happen!
