Hi, I’m Anna Hamill, the artist behind And Hope Designs

One day, you’ll find me running a warm, welcoming café and bookshop somewhere in the Scottish Highlands. We’ll serve pots of tea and coffee and delicious homemade cakes. Maybe we’ll have a cosy holiday cottage nearby, somewhere people can visit to escape daily life, enjoy the great outdoors, and reconnect with friends and family. Until then, I’ll focus on creating the same feeling, right here, through And Hope Designs.

So come on in, get cosy, and make yourself at home.

Bespoke Commissions

A custom piece of art makes the perfect gift - whether you’re celebrating a loved one’s big birthday, marking an anniversary or looking for a unique housewarming present. Self-gifting is also encouraged!


You can commission a painting of your home, your wedding venue or any building of significance. Or choose a hand lettered, illustrated list of the things you love about the gift’s recipient. You could even transform your wedding vows, a favourite poem or a special piece of prose into a stunning work of art.


Every commission is designed, hand lettered and illustrated by me in Belfast, using beautiful high-quality materials.
