What is a Live Painting?
"Live painting is a form of visual performance art in which artists complete a visual art piece in a public performance, often at a bar, music concert, wedding reception, or public event, accompanied by a DJ or live music. The artwork which is created live may be planned or improvisational. This live art form is often contrasted with more studied fine art compositions from the same artists, which are generally executed in an artist's studio or other private space." Live painting. (2023, January 26). In Wikipedia.

What is a Live Wedding Painting?
As a professional artist and live event painter based in Maui, Hawaii, I have the privilege of capturing some of life’s most meaningful moments in real-time through my art. My live wedding paintings have become a popular way for couples to enhance their wedding day experience while also taking home a one-of-a-kind, personalized piece of artwork to cherish for years to come.
A live wedding painting is exactly what it sounds like - an original painting created during your wedding ceremony or reception by a professional artist. Using oil paints on canvas, I work discreetly from an easel set up in a corner of the venue, visually documenting your wedding day and turning those memories into a timeless work of art.
Live wedding paintings offer couples a unique form of entertainment and personalization for their guests while also providing an instant sentimental keepsake of their special day. Each painting is entirely unique and tailored to reflect the personalities, style, and key moments of the couple and event. As memories are made, I work to capture the overall feeling, colors, and highlights of the wedding in real time so the couple can take home a painting that truly represents the spirit of their celebration.
Beyond the undeniable sentimental value, live wedding paintings also make memorable decor and an unforgettable experience for you and your guests. They serve as a focal point for photos, encourage interactive moments, and inspire joy and wonder as the painting develops throughout the event.
