Live Painting

Currently offering two different options for Live Painting:

Live Oil Painting- A single oil painting on canvas painted on site

Watercolor Guest Portraits- Multiple quick watercolor sketches on paper

Live Oil Painting

If you are wanting to add a special touch to your wedding or event consider a live painter to add atmosphere. As a live wedding painter I would be there through your ceremony and reception or event, painting in person. This not only adds to the ambiance of the event but the vibrance and brilliance of the colors can add to the painting as well. My style is a mix of impressionism and realism. I prefer to leave the painting looser with more detail only in the focal point which in the case of a wedding would be the bride and groom.

I would work with you ahead of time to plan what moment you would like to capture along with what is important to you in the painting. On the day of I would arrive early to set up and start blocking in the background. I would paint through the ceremony and reception and afterwards take the painting back to my studio to add any finishing touches and allow the paint to fully dry. After finishing I will send out pictures for final approval, and will varnish before delivery/shipping.

My home and studio are located in Simpsonville KY just outside of Louisville. Additional travel fees outside of 1 hour away.

My pricing currently starts at $1100+ for an 18"x24".

Reach out if interested in booking me! Limited availability depending on my schedule.

Watercolor Guest Portraits

Now offering watercolor guest portraits as a live painting service.

Instead of a single oil painting, you may be interested in a series of watercolor and ink figurative portraits as favors to your guests of your big event.

On the day of, I will arrive before the reception to set up and start painting the guests as they arrive. I will paint throughout the reception averaging 5-8 min per guest/couple, each a quick watercolor and ink figurative portrait to remember their night. Please note that depending on the size of your wedding I cannot guarantee a portrait for everyone but can do additional portraits after the fact for an additional fee.

Pricing starts at $1100. Please contact for a customized quote depending on the size of your wedding or event.

Additional expenses for traveling over 1 hour from Simpsonville KY.
