I paint with high quality water-based acrylic paint on pre-stretched canvas. The paint is non-toxic and quick drying, allowing for easy cleanup and transport of the painting after an event.

Of course! Your painting will reflect your vision, and include exactly who and what you want. We will discuss this list ahead of time, and you will assign someone (usually your wedding planner or a family member) to point out your chosen guests to me during the reception. I bring the painting back to my studio after the wedding to do some finishing touches, and if someone was left out, they can be added in during that time.

My setup is minimal and usually does not require assistance from event staff. I supply my own portable easel, drop cloth, and any additional supplies needed. Your site only needs to arrange for a small painting area in advance of my arrival, which need not take up more than approximately 6′ X 6′, indoors or outdoors. The site also needs to have a nearby power outlet for my lamp, a water source I can access, and a place to dump paint water such as a wash sink. Also, I prefer to set up in a spot that gives me a good view of the scene I will be painting.

Once we confirm that I am available for your date, we will schedule an initial introductory phone call to go over some details about your wedding. Then I will create a custom proposal for you based on the information gathered during our phone call. This will include a contract and invoice for a retainer of $300 to hold your date.

Typically I plan to arrive 2 hours in ahead of the ceremony time. I need about 30 minutes to get everything set up to start painting, then I begin blocking in the background for the painting. I will continue painting throughout the night and into your reception which can sometimes add up to about 8 hours total. I will bring the painting back to my studio to complete. 6-8 weeks after your wedding delivery will be arranged.
