"Seeing Katherine’s piece was something of a 'Eureka' moment for me about integrating art and a special moment in life...I was truly excited by this prospect of 'marrying' art and a lovely wedding ceremony."
- Sarah Ritchie, wedding officiant

About Live Event Painting:
Many people find not only that a live painter can create a more distinctive, meaningful record of their special day than an ordinary photograph; a live event painter also puts on a performance, as guests witness an entire painting of themselves and their surroundings unfold over the course of a few hours.

As a live event painter, I can make a complete painting of a wedding, bar/bat mitzvah, party, fundraiser or other special event on-site at the occasion, capturing the scene and moment. If requested, I can add detail in the studio afterward, such as more detailed portraits of guests. I can also create multiple small sketches or paintings onsite, or a customized portrait of a past event based on photographs. I work with clients to tailor the experience to their needs.
