Live painting is the art of creating a custom canvas during your event, capturing a meaningful moment such as your ceremony, first dance, or reception.
I begin with a blank canvas and paint throughout the event as the scene comes to life. By the end of the evening, you’ll have a finished artwork, while guests enjoy watching the process unfold as a unique form of live entertainment.
Whether it’s your first kiss, walk down the aisle, or first dance, I capture the magic in a timeless painting.
