For me, my paintings are about
and getting to the heart of an event
so I’m left only with the essential pieces of the day to best preserve the feeling of the moment.

There are few things I love more than wandering through Museums or diving into Art History. I pursue work that has the flavor of the impressionist with the tones of the Old Masters.

Tailored To Your Dreams

Your input and desires for the look and feel of your painting are utmost in my mind.
My packages include a planning session, in person or through video chat, for us to brainstorm the vision for your piece.
In this planning session we will also discuss color palette to ensure your painting not only has the feel you are looking for, but will also be beautiful in your home after your event.

“Having Kristin paint our wedding ceremony was one of the best decisions we made planning our wedding…
It’s one of the few things from that day that we got to keep! “

I want you to see what a painting looks like finished and framed as well as some closer detail shots of the brushwork and texture of my oil paintings. I also threw in a few photos of me working at events and weddings.
What Clients Are Saying

“How do I accurately describe our experience working with Kristin?? She is kind, talented, dedicated and she DELIVERS! Having her paint our wedding ceremony was one of the best decisions we made planning our wedding. She communicated with me so much, asked great questions about colors and helped us decide on the specific scene she would focus on, and then all our wedding guests loved watching her paint and share her artistic view of the special occasion! It’s one of the few things from that day that we got to keep! We ended up decorating our living room around her painting, and it means so much to have a piece of artwork made from her heart in our home!”
Olivia, Live Wedding Painting
“Words can’t describe the magic that Kristin was able to put into our painting. I have always dreamed of having a live painting at my wedding and when I stumbled across Kristin at a wedding festival I was captivated by her style and knew I needed her to paint our wedding. Her paintings were whimsical, moody, and nothing short of beautiful. When we met with Kristin she was so excited and already had envisioned what the painting could look like at our venue. Being able to see the painting at different times during the night was the most fun part of having a live wedding painter. Guests were mesmerized and we were told so many times how beautiful it was turning out to be. I remember the moment I saw it at the end of the night and it was more than I could have hoped for. I am forever grateful to have this piece of artwork representing the happiest day of our life!”
Jaclyn, Live Wedding Painting
“Kristin took a simple idea of a couple of wedding photos and turned them into a treasured painting for my daughter and son-in-law. This beautiful painting will hang proudly in their home and will forever memorialize their beautiful day. I and they could not be happier.”
Patty, Custom Wedding Painting

Live Painting on Location
Imagine an Old Masters style Oil painting being carefully hand painted for you at your wedding or event. Framed in a wide gilt frame on a vintage wooden easel your custom painting will come to life before the eyes of you and your loved ones.
Not only will this be one of a kind entertainment for your guests, but it will become a treasured piece you can add to your home.
With the styling and look of my setup, I want to give you and your guests the impression of an artist who has been plucked out of a scene in a museum and placed in your day of celebration.
Wedding + Event

-
With my Live Painting you have 5 hours of painting time included in your package.
But I actually arrive 2-3 hours before your painting time begins to go ahead and create my first sketches and begin laying in the brush work of the painting.
This way your guests have something to view on the canvas when they begin arriving.
The extra time I spend getting ready will not take away from your 5 hours of painting time included in your package.
I will continue to paint through the day, chatting with guests, and slowly forming your painting into a completed piece of Artwork. Adding in you and your guests or scenery as the night progresses.
Once we reach the end of my painting time I will carefully package up your painting and my setup and return to my studio to finish adding final touches the following week.
-
Just shoot me a quick message in my contact form below and I will send my pricing your way!
-
My Package includes up to a 22×28 canvas.
If you prefer a smaller canvas this will not alter the cost of the package.
I also offer size upgrades if you wish for a larger piece of art.
-
If your event is held in multiple locations, or you would like me to move from a ceremony space to a reception space I am more than happy to move my setup.
-
Absolutely! I love to chat with guests as they come to view what I’m working on. And I think it adds to the entertainment aspect of my painting if the guests get involved with questions. :)
-
There are so many options!
I could paint the festivity of the reception.
Or maybe just the venue/landscape surrounding us.
You may want only you in the painting at the venue without all the guests.
It’s entirely up to you!
We can plan out the subject and focus of your painting at our pre- event meeting.
I always lean toward paintings with movement and original compositions in my work.
-
My Package includes time in my studio to add finishing touches to your piece of art.
As this is an oil painting it does require some time to dry before I return to you and your home.
In most instances your painting will be in your hands within 6 weeks of your wedding date.
-
While I am painting live at your event, the canvas will be in an ornate guilt frame on my vintage style wooden easel.
However this frame is just part of the display for the live painting.
After the painting is finished I do offer custom framing, for an additional fee, so the piece comes to you ready to hang and you don’t have to worry about framing it yourself.
But framing it is not included in the package.

As an avid traveler I am always happy to travel to new locations with my easel and art supplies!
I have many years of experience traveling with my art things and know my way around transporting paintings.
I am located near Greenville, SC, so if you are interested in having me travel to you I will create a custom package that includes all of the travel.
-
First things first, send me a quick hello via my contact form below and I will send you all of my pricing and details.
Once you book with me your date will be reserved for you and you alone and we will begin planning a time for our braistorming/planning chat in person or online.
In this meeting I will get a sense of what you would like your painting to feel like and what colors feel right for you.
-
If I am given free rein, I LOVE to paint scenes that feel very candid. Like a snapshot of a moment that isn’t really staged. I also love creating compositions that are very layered to create depth in my painting. So some of my favorite types of scenes to paint at weddings are: The couple on the dance floor with their guests around also dancing, the couple seated at their table at the reception all snuggled up with the party going on around them, the couple walking around the venue together really showing all the landscape in the painting, the couple being congratulated by their family and friends after the ceremony.
