Booking a live painter ensures that your day is captured on canvas as the event unfolds. Colorado mountain weddings are most common, but all types of events are enhanced with live art.
I focus on immortalizing the energy and uniqueness of your event. Bold hues are grounded in a natural color palette, creating a lively atmosphere that captivates the viewer. Energetic brushstrokes and fine detail ebb and flow leading to a playful, joyous, and recognizable moment in time.
Far beyond the final painting is an opportunity to involve guests in the process. Seeing a cherished piece of artwork take shape is not something that is quickly forgotten. A live painting is a unique and remarkable way to provide entertainment for your loved ones.
As you dance into the night, your painting will be completed and is a reminder the following morning that, yes, that did indeed happen.
Why Hire a Live Painter?
01. I arrive early for a seamless set up before guests enter the space.
02. Each painting begins with a "ground", followed by an outline of your chosen scene. The goal here is an engaging composition. The top priority is creating a piece that brings your vision to life.
03. Each event is unique and moving from one location to the next is common. Whenever possible, your painting will be with your guests.
04. Details begin to take shape as the party progresses.
Your chosen moment, guests, details, and scenery will all emerge in rich color.
05. Each live canvas or paper painting takes five to eight hours to complete. The finished piece can be left at the venue or shipped directly to you. Touch ups and shipping are included in each live painting package.
Day Of Painting Process
I am particularly interested in a painting's ability to transport you back to your fondest memory.
Pricing
Canvas and paper options hit a variety of price points. Floater frames are also available as a way to elevate your piece. Pricing is found by combining the value of a custom painting created with high quality materials and live painting/entertainment time. On average, investment begins at $3300.

Travel
Sticking close to home in Colorado to paint the beautiful opportunities here is my bread and butter. However, I love to travel and happily paint in Wyoming, Idaho, Montana, and more!
