Imagine your event being transformed into a living work of art. With live painting, I set up on-site — brush in hand — to capture the energy, mood, and essence of your occasion in real time. Whether it’s a wedding, fundraiser, corporate gathering, or private party, I create a one-of-a-kind painting that evolves as your event unfolds.

What to expect

  • A Live Artist Experience: I bring a full mobile studio setup and begin painting as guests arrive. Throughout the event, I paint an expressive scene inspired by your space, people, and vibe. Guests can watch the artwork take shape — it becomes part of the entertainment.
  • A Custom Keepsake: After the event, I refine the painting in my studio, then deliver a finished piece ready to hang. It's more than decor — it’s a visual memory you can keep forever.
  • Guest Interaction (Optional): If you’d like, I can include touches of interactivity — inviting guests to suggest a color, sign the back of the canvas, or simply chat with me as I paint.

Life Painting is the Perfect Addition to Your Event

There's no more intriguing way to bring the theme of your event to life than to have an artist on-site creating real-life artwork. Live painting is a great addition to many types of events, including:

  • Nonprofit Fundraisers & Galas
  • Grand Openings & Launch Events
  • Private Celebrations
  • Community Gatherings
  • Brand Activations
  • Corporate Events

Style and Medium

I specialize in contemporary still life and landscapes with bold, layered color. Explore my instagram to get a feel for my style.

I often use acrylic for live sessions due to its quick drying time and vibrant finish. Each painting reflects your event’s unique rhythm, setting, and spirit.
