From meaningful home portraits to heirloom-inspired artwork and curated print collections, each piece is thoughtfully illustrated to feel personal, timeless, and sentimental.

Home Sweet Home

Before watercolor became my daily rhythm, I spent years as an architect and interior designer creating spaces that shaped lives. My artwork is rooted in the same love of design and detail but with a softer, more personal touch. Each piece is a celebration of the places and moments that make us who we are.

Whether it's a beloved family home, a first house, or a meaningful gift, I’d be honored to turn your special space into a timeless keepsake. My process is simple, my turnaround is quick, and every piece is made with care. Ready to create something meaningful together? Let’s get started.

  • "So happy with my purchase! We wanted something that would remind us of our first home, and it is perfect. Every specification we asked for was met, and the quality is great. Can’t wait to hang it on the wall!"

    —Drew

  • "I honestly teared up when I opened the package. The painting captured every little detail of my childhood home—even the lilac bush my mom planted years ago. It’s more than just a picture; it feels like a piece of our family’s story. The colors are so soft and beautiful, and you can tell how much love went into every brushstroke. This is something I’ll treasure forever. Thank you for creating such a meaningful keepsake for us!"

Meet Tess

I thought I’d take a moment to properly introduce myself.

I’m Tess Rieger — the artist behind Tess Rieger Illustrations. I live in Monroe, Georgia, and what started as small watercolor paintings for friends and family has grown into a business that means so much to me.

This all began over 6 years ago as a tiny seed.

And while it may look polished now with a website, Instagram, and this newsletter, it’s been a journey of learning, stretching, and trusting God with something I felt called to build.

I knew I loved creating but I had no idea how to turn that into a business.

At the heart of it all, my work has always been about something deeper:

→ Capturing the places and moments that shape us

→ Creating pieces that feel personal and lasting

→ Bringing beauty and joy into everyday life

I’m so grateful I get to do this and even more grateful that you’re here.

Your go-to art girl,

Tess
