Live Wedding Painter Near Me

​

If you’re looking for a live wedding painter, you have more choices than ever. So what sets me apart?

​

For me, live wedding art is about more than creating a beautiful finished piece. I want watching the artwork come to life to be part of the fun of your wedding.

​

Nearly 30 Years of Working With People

​

Being a live wedding painter requires more than knowing how to paint. You’re stepping into one of the biggest family events of someone’s life, and weddings can be...well, weddings.

​

After nearly 30 years of drawing people live, I know how to work with all kinds of personalities.

​

I can joke around with Uncle Albert who has had a little too much to drink, reassure Aunt Karen who wants to make absolutely certain I get her good side, make a shy child feel comfortable, and understand that Mom may be watching everything closely because this is her baby’s wedding.

​

I know when someone wants to chat, when someone needs a little extra reassurance, and when to simply let them enjoy the moment.

​

This is what LIVE artwork is all about.

​

I spent ten years drawing in Las Vegas and have worked everything from intimate family celebrations to huge corporate events for companies and organizations including Samsung, Coca-Cola, AT&T, the PGA and Cirque du Soleil. I’ve drawn thousands and thousands of people over the years.

So yes, I know how to paint and draw.

​

But I also know how to handle people.

​

And when you’re inviting an artist into a room filled with the people you love most, that’s a pretty important part of the job. It's also the part that many artists completely ignore.

​

Live Art That Becomes Part of the Entertainment

​

I don’t just create something for you to pick up at the end of the night. I love interacting with your guests while I work.

​

People gather around to watch, ask questions, talk with me and see the artwork develop throughout the reception. I want the experience of watching me create to be almost as much fun as seeing the finished artwork.

​

That’s one of the reasons I’ve always loved live work. I live for that moment when someone sees their drawing for the first time.

​

I Paint and Draw FAST

​

Nearly three decades of drawing live has also made me very fast. In fact, I’m one of the fastest caricature artists in the world.

​

That allows me to offer several different kinds of live wedding art, including:

​

• Live wedding painting

• Live wedding guest sketches

• Flattering caricatures

• Live digital wedding paintings

• Live digital caricatures

• Traditional and digital artwork created right in front of your guests

• ​

My style is flattering and recognizable. I want you and your guests to look like yourselves on one of the best days of your lives.

​

I Offer Live Digital Wedding Painting

​

This is one of the things I offer that you probably won’t see from many other live wedding painters.

​

I spent years creating live digital art at corporate events, and now I bring that same technology to weddings.

​

And no, it’s NOT AI.

​

Every line, brushstroke and detail is created live by me, by hand. My canvas and tools are simply digital.

​

If you’re a modern bride, a techie couple, or you just want something different that your guests probably haven’t seen at every other wedding, live digital wedding art is a really fun option.

​

Digital artwork also gives you possibilities that you don’t have with a single traditional painting. Your finished artwork can be used for:

​

• Thank-you cards

• Social media

• Prints

• Gifts for parents and family members

• Profile pictures and avatars

• Wedding keepsakes

• Copies for your guests

​

And there’s another big difference.

​

Many traditional live wedding paintings aren’t actually finished at the wedding. The artist takes the painting home, completes it in the studio and delivers it later.

​

With my live digital wedding paintings and drawings, you can have your finished artwork that night.

​

Your Guests Can Be Part of the Art, Too

​

I also offer live wedding sketches, which turn the art into an experience for your guests.

​

Instead of creating only one painting of the couple, I can draw your friends and family throughout the reception. Guests get to sit with me, watch their artwork come to life and leave with something created especially for them.

​

Because I draw so quickly, I can create far more guest artwork during a reception than many artists can.

​

It becomes entertainment, a wedding favor and a keepsake all at the same time.

​

One Artist, Lots of Possibilities

​

Maybe you want a traditional live wedding painter creating a keepsake of your wedding day.

​

Maybe you want live wedding sketches so your guests become part of the art.

​

Maybe you want flattering caricatures that I can draw incredibly fast.

Or maybe you want something your guests have probably never seen before, like live digital wedding painting.

​

We can choose the kind of live art experience that fits your wedding, your guests and your personality.
