A timeless, hand-drawn keepsake for a meaningful milestone

Limited slots available during Ferming season

Persónuleg handteiknuð fermingarmynd hönnuð til að fanga persónuleika barnsins á fágaðan og tímalausan hátt. Myndin er teiknuð af arkitekt/listakonu sem er búsett í Reykjavík. Myndin hentar vel til að hafa til sýnis í fermingarveislunni og sem minjagrip um ókomna tíð. Hvert verk er teiknað af alúð og því er aðeins hægt að taka við takmörkuðum fjölda pantana á hverju ári.

Created by architect & artist Sonia Nicolson, based in Reykjavík.

Celebrate your child’s Ferming with a beautifully hand-drawn portrait, created to mark this important moment with care, artistry, and intention. Each portrait is individually hand-drawn and created in limited quantities each season to ensure care, quality, and artistic integrity.

This personalised digital portrait captures your teenager’s character and presence in a calm, elegant drawing style. This is not a generic illustration, but a bespoke artwork created to mark a once-in-a-lifetime milestone.

Perfect for:

• Displaying at the Ferming celebration

• Using on invitations or thank you cards

• Gifting to grandparents and family

• Framing as a lasting reminder of this milestone

What You’ll Receive

A high-resolution hand-drawn illustration of your child, suitable for printing in multiple sizes or sharing digitally. Artwork created at A3 (297 × 420 mm / 11.7 × 16.5in).

Portrait Options:

Choose between a simple head-and-shoulders portrait or a fully personalised artwork that includes architectural or symbolic details related to the Ferming celebration.

1. Simple Ferming Portrait (Head & Shoulders)

A refined, hand-drawn digital portrait focusing on your child’s face and expression. Clean, timeless, and understated.

2. Full Ferming Portrait with Church or Symbolic Detail

A fully personalised portrait that may include the confirmation church or a subtle symbolic element, such as a lupin or Icelandic motif. These details are drawn with restraint to enhance the artwork while keeping it elegant and timeless.

How the Portrait Process Works

1. Place your order and select your preferred portrait option.

2. Email a clear reference photo to hello@sonianicolson.com

   If selecting the full portrait, you may share a meaningful detail such as the confirmation church or a simple symbolic element, which may be thoughtfully incorporated into the drawing.

3. Your portrait is drawn by hand and delivered digitally, ready for you to print, frame, or share.

Suitable for Confirmations, Graduations & Milestones

Although inspired by Icelandic Ferming traditions, these portraits are also suitable for:

• Confirmations outside Iceland

• Graduations

• Milestone Birthdays

• meaningful coming-of-age moments
