It all begins with a conversation. Once you have navigated on this page through some of the answers to questions you may have, reach out so we can discuss what your unique journey will look like!

If I am not available to paint live I would be happy to work from a photo of your wedding!

 

  • I serve Austin, TX locally and the surrounding areas. But I am happy to travel to your area!

  • I describe my work as realistic and impressionistic, meaning I capture life live using small visible brush strokes closely together that are not always blended. It is a unique style!

  • I use high quality acrylic paints on canvas. These paints dry quickly, making for a clean transport after the event.

  • I can capture the most detail if I paint the couple only, however if including additional guests is desired I can include up to 5 recognizable guests (recognizable being non silhouette).

  • Yes. I’d be happy to paint the ceremony from photos and complete the painting during the reception.

  • Shortly after you complete the form on the contact page I will confirm if I am available for your date. We will have a phone call to discuss what you're looking for and I will follow up with some quotes.
