See the Painting on Your Own Wall
Free Art Visualizer
Buying art online asks you to take a leap. You look at a photograph on a white background, you read the dimensions, and then you try to picture the thing in your living room. Almost nobody can do that accurately. Twenty-four inches sounds substantial on a screen and turns out to be modest above a sofa.
This tool removes the guessing. Take a photo of your wall, tell me the width of one thing already in it, and any painting in the collection will appear on that wall at its true size — not approximated, not scaled by eye, but calculated from a measurement you took in your own room. Drag it around, try a few, and save the result.
Your photo never leaves your phone. Everything happens inside your browser. Nothing is uploaded, nothing is stored, and nobody — including me — ever sees the inside of your house.
See It In Your Room
Hang It On Your Own Wall
Take a photo of your wall, tell me the width of one thing in it, and I will show you any painting in the collection hanging there at true size. Your photo stays on your device — nothing is uploaded.
1 Photograph your wall
Stand back and shoot the wall straight on, including a piece of furniture if there is one. Your photo never leaves your device.
2 Set the scale
Drag the two arrows so each tip sits exactly on the edge of something you have measured — a sofa, a window, a doorway. The white cross-lines mark the exact points. Then enter how wide that thing really is.

3 Pick your paintings
Tap a piece to hang it. Add up to five to try a pair or a grouping, then drag each one independently.
Like what you see on your wall? Send me the list and I will hold the pieces for you to come view in person.
Only the list of paintings and your measurement are sent. Your photo stays on your device. Your information is never sold or shared.
Your photo is processed entirely in your browser. It is never uploaded, stored, or seen by anyone but you.
Getting a Good Result
Shoot the wall straight on
Stand back far enough to get the whole wall, and square yourself up to it rather than shooting from an angle. The painting is placed flat against the photo, so a wall photographed at a sharp angle will look slightly off. Straight on takes ten seconds and makes everything downstream more convincing.
Include something you can measure
This is the part that makes the result trustworthy. A photograph has no inherent size — nothing in the pixels tells the software whether your wall is eight feet wide or eighteen. So include a sofa, a console, a window, or a doorway in the shot, then measure it with a tape.
Good things to measure, because they are easy to reach and have clear edges: a sofa arm to arm, a window frame outside edge to outside edge, a doorway, a fireplace opening. A standard interior door is about 32 inches. A queen bed is 60 inches wide, a king is 76.
Line up the arrows carefully
Drag the two gold arrows so each tip sits exactly on the edge of whatever you measured. The white cross-lines mark the precise points. Then type in how wide that thing really is. Everything on the wall is calculated from that one span, so a careless placement here throws off every painting you try afterwards. It is worth ten extra seconds.
What You Are Actually Seeing
Once the scale is set, the painting’s size is locked. You can move it anywhere on the wall, but you cannot resize it — and that is deliberate. A tool that lets you shrink the art until it looks right would be pleasant and useless. The whole point is an honest answer to the only question that matters: is this piece the right size for that wall?
Two things the preview does not attempt. It does not correct for perspective, so a wall shot at an angle shows the painting square-on. And the shadow is a simple soft one rather than a match for your room’s lighting. Neither affects the size, which is the part you need to get right.
Then Come See the Real Thing
A preview solves scale. It cannot solve surface.
My paintings are built with crushed quartz, sand, lava rock, rust, burlap and gold leaf, and those materials behave differently as the light moves across them through the day. A raised ridge throws a shadow at four in the afternoon that is gone by six. A metallic passage goes flat under cloud and lights up in the sun. No screen reproduces that, and it is a large part of what you are buying.
So use this to narrow it down, then come stand in front of the shortlist. I paint in Missouri City and sell locally throughout the Houston area — Sugar Land, Katy, Pearland and the surrounding communities. I do not ship and I do not take commissions, which means every buyer sees the actual painting in real light before any money changes hands.
A good portion of the current collection hangs at the Sugar Land Art Center & Gallery, 104 Industrial Blvd Ste Q, Sugar Land, TX 77478. Open to the public, no appointment, no obligation. Bring the screenshot.
