LIVE EVENT PAINTING

Sizes vary for each package, ranging from 18"x24" to 30"x40", with custom sizing available. Remember, the larger the canvas, the easier it is to watch me paint! Canvases are of high quality to ensure you will have an heirloom to pass on to future generations. All canvases are gallery wrapped (the sides are thicker, completely covered in canvas, and staple free), and I will paint the edges so they look just as clean hanging unframed as they do hanging framed.

I primarily paint in high quality acrylic on well crafted pre-stretched canvas.

I will arrive 2 to 3 hours before your wedding to set up and paint the background. I will paint through your event as entertainment for your guests. I will paint for a total of about 5 to 6 hours.

Most paintings are able to be finished at the event! However, I offer to bring the painting home for for touch ups. We then coordinate drop off/pick up or shipping with the client as needed. I try to finish paintings as soon as possible when I take them home to the studio, but depending on touch up requests I like to say it could take 1-3 Months to be safe.

My goal as the artist is to capture the mood of your event on canvas, and to entertain your guests. You will already have countless photos giving you a photo- realistic rendering of your day. In contrast my paintings have a dreamlike quality, painted in an expressive and colorful impressionistic style. It's best represented by examples in my gallery. Identifiable features like hair color and clothing will make the central people stand out, but the faces of guests will be painted more loosely to bring the viewer's eye back to the central people and generate a feeling of movement in the painting.

The painting is painted from life but I also snap some quick photos during the event for reference as the scene shifts and for if touch ups or requested after the event. I will also paint from photos for Client's whose event has already happened, but would like to have a painting.

I can paint any scene you want, but I often put together different moments of the event into one cohesive space. If you are having a wedding and your ceremony and reception are in two different locations I can start in the first location and pack up and relocate to the reception, so guests can still watch me paint. I may snap some photos of my own as reference but I promise to do so respectfully.

Each painting will focus on the most important people. Clients can specify other family and friends whose likeness they would like to have in the painting in a looser style

I would be honored. I am fully flexible to work with you to make this picture as perfect as possible. I could paint your loved one how you imagine them there or something to represent them. Whatever works for you, works for me.

All of my paintings can be hung as is, but they do not come with a frame.

Of course I do. I am an inclusive wedding vendor and here to celebrate all weddings. No matter your gender, sexuality, religion, or race.

Absolutely! I can paint other events such as cooperate events, fundraisers, bar mitzvas, quinceaneras, etc...

I do my best to accommodate rescheduled dates if I am available, however I book up many months in advance (sometimes years) so I can't guarantee availability. There is also an additional fee to reschedule because once your date is booked I hold it just for you and decline business for any other inquiries on your date.

I will travel and paint all around the world. I am based in New York City, so if your event is over a one hour commute that is when Travel and Accommodations will be added at a reasonable price.

I need access to an electrical outlet to plug in my lighting for darker rooms, and I need shelter from the elements if outdoors. For health and safety, an artist's space at least 10' x 10' is needed. When choosing where to place my performance in the room, please keep in mind that I need a clear line of sight to the action, free from obstructions like DJ speakers or architectural elements like pillars, and that you will want your guests to be able to see me work as well. I will also need some water for my cup. Other than that I’m all set!

Average pricing ranges from $1500 - $2,500 and is based on the location of the event, the size of the canvas, the popularity of the event date, and the day of the week. A 25% non refundable deposit is due upon booking to secure your event. Additional fees may apply depending on the location of the event and the date. Please contact me for a price sheet with detailed package information.

Yes! We can discuss the best way to split the payments up over the months leading up to your wedding. I use a program that will send an invoice to your email and it is super easy to fill out and keep up with payments.

I currently have no business liability insurance, so if a venue requires vendors to be insured there may be a conflict in hiring me.
