Live Wedding Painting
A Unique Experience for Your Wedding or Special Event
Mesmerizing surreal fantasy dreamscape artworks inspired by your special day
The Process
Step 1
Discuss the vision and inspiration for your dream wedding art and everything you would like me to keep in mind in preparation for the special day. This may include colors and hues that you prefer, details that you would like me to captures, moments to focus on, and the type of materials you would like me to use (e.g. watercolor, pencil, charcoal, ink, acrylic, gold paint). Some clients may prefer a series of small pencil or watercolor sketches while others envision a large highly detailed painting. Overall, you can expect the artwork to resemble the styles featured in my examples.
Free Artwork: To give you a glimpse of the live art experience, I include a free 30-minute consultation call over MS Teams/Zoom during which we discuss your event plans and vision while I take notes and create a drawing of you in profile, to be emailed to you after our call.
Step 3
After we confirm all the details, the next step is to secure your wedding date with a 50% deposit, with the remainder due a week before the wedding. All wedding packages are customizable to your needs. Please note that additional travel costs may be applicable for locations outside of Ottawa, Canada.

When you are ready to make a reservation, we will confirm the number/type of artworks that you would like me to create during the wedding event, finalizing the time, day and location. I am happy to travel within Ottawa, Canada, or worldwide.

On the day of your celebration, I will arrive two or three hours early to prepare my materials and begin painting the background of the artwork, staying at the event for as long as you need to capture special moments. You may also choose for the live painting or drawing to be a way of engaging and entertaining guests with a beautiful gift to remember the special occasion (e.g. having an area where guests can sit down for a live portrait in watercolor, pencil, ink or acrylic). Depending on the art style and size of the artwork(s) you would like, some finishing touches may be added after the wedding. If you would prefer for me to paint from photos after the event that is an option as well.

About the Artist
The artist’s paintings are often inspired by fantasy, folklore, and mythology themes with influences from the gothic romanticism, symbolist and Art Nouveau movements. The artist’s unique style is characterized by an interest in the natural world as expressed by the mythic and otherworldly. With each painting, the goal is to seeks to create a narrative in the viewer’s imagination, evoking a vision of a surreal universe of magic and wonder, a journey into a dream vision of the past, future or a place that exists only within ourselves. The artist’s collection of work is filled with unusual whimsical characters and fantastical architecture landscapes, immersed in hidden details and symbols, the language of flowers and animals, shadows and color, expressions and poses inscribed in delicate lines and ornaments for the eye to interpret and unravel.
