Hi, I’m Elena Fay—a live wedding artist, event illustrator and product designer based in Maryland.
When I sketched at my first event in 2013, I fell in love with the experience and knew I had to make it my career. Many years later, I look back in awe at the incredible journey this passion has taken me on. I’ve had the honor of working with brands like Porsche, Cartier, Chanel, Tiffany & Co., Louis Vuitton, Salvatore Ferragamo, Four Seasons, J.Crew, Bloomingdale’s, Neiman Marcus, and other amazing brands.
I made a quick appearance on Bravo TV (Real Housewives of Potomac) and my work has been featured on Style Me Pretty, Washingtonian, DC Magazine, and Baltimore Weddings.
As a live event artist, I have the joy of painting at weddings, corporate events, and private parties, capturing the energy and magic of the moment. Whether I’m creating watercolor guest portraits or painting a romantic wedding scene, my goal is to create artwork that preserves memories, evokes emotions, and sparks joy. When I paint at weddings, I get to travel to venues all over the country to paint couples on the happiest day of their lives, how amazing is that?
Licensing
When I’m not preparing for a wedding or event sketching, I can be found in my home studio, working on designs for my licensing partners. Seeing my illustrations come to life on products brings me immense joy—you can find my work on kitchen towels, fabrics, puzzles, and hopefully many more in the near future:) I have the coolest job in the world!
Outside of painting and designing, I spend my days chasing little moments of inspiration, whether in my garden, planning our next family adventure, or playing with new art supplies. And, of course, I’m always trying to keep up with my super energetic boys and our fur baby- golden retriever, Marvel!
If you love fashion illustration as much as I do or just want to add more creativity into your life—or maybe you’re a fan of coloring books and fun surprises—then you’re in the right place!
Something exciting is coming soon, and I can’t wait to share it with you! Join the list to be the first to know all the details and snag early bird pricing. Stay tuned—more fun is on the way! 🎨
