Live Wedding Painting
An original painting of a moment you'll never want to forget.
There is something special about having a moment from your wedding day captured in an original painting. Not simply a photograph reproduced on canvas, but an artistic interpretation filled with colour, movement, texture and feeling.
Live wedding painting brings that creative process into your celebration. Throughout your reception, I'll work on an original painting inspired by you and your wedding day, allowing your guests to watch as the artwork gradually comes to life.
My approach is expressive and painterly, with an emphasis on capturing the connection between two people rather than recreating every detail perfectly. I'm particularly drawn to the intimate gestures that tell a story — intertwined hands, wedding rings, a shared glance or the movement of a bouquet.
The result is a one-of-a-kind piece of artwork that becomes a lasting reminder of the day you began your marriage.
Let's Create Something Meaningful
If you're looking for something personal, artistic and lasting to remember your wedding day, I'd love to hear about your plans.
Tell me a little about your celebration, your date and the kind of painting you're envisioning. Together, we can create something worth keeping.

Wedding painting packages are priced according to the size and complexity of the artwork, along with the location and logistics of your celebration.
For weddings in the Lethbridge area, travel may already be included in your quoted package. For celebrations outside the local area, additional travel costs may apply depending on distance, driving time and any overnight accommodation required.
Each booking is quoted individually, so you'll receive a clear estimate that accounts for your event location and arrangements before committing. My goal is to make the process as straightforward as possible, with no unexpected costs along the way.

Absolutely! We can work together to bring your vision to life, creating a meaningful painting that captures the spirit of your wedding and becomes a lasting expression of your love for generations to come. Studio commissions also mean no travel or mileage fees.
Expression-Driven Art Services and Events
Commissioned Canvas Painting
Have an idea for an original painting? I'd love to hear about it.
Commissioned artwork offers the opportunity to create something personal and entirely your own. Whether it's a meaningful place, a special memory, a favourite subject or something you've been imagining for your home, each piece is approached as an original work of art.
My paintings are expressive and painterly, with an emphasis on colour, movement, texture and feeling. Rather than simply reproducing a photograph, I aim to bring my own artistic interpretation to each subject.
Commission pricing
Original commissioned paintings start at $250 CAD.
Prices vary depending on canvas size, subject matter and complexity. As a general guide, most commissions range from $250–$1,000+, with larger or more involved pieces quoted individually.
Every project is different, so I'll provide a personalized quote before any work begins.

Get in touch with a little information about your idea, the approximate size you're considering and any reference photographs you have. We can discuss the possibilities and find an approach that works for your vision.
I'd love to create something meaningful for you.
Live Event Painting
$500-$1200+
Art that becomes part of the occasion.
From corporate celebrations and milestone events to private gatherings and special occasions, live painting offers a unique way to commemorate an event through original artwork.
Whether capturing the atmosphere of a celebration or creating a commissioned piece inspired by a business, its people, or its story, each painting is developed live before guests and thoughtfully finished in the studio afterward.
The result is more than an experience for guests to enjoy. It's an original work of art that can continue to tell the story long after the event has ended.
Community Art Classes
$70-$130
Building community between families through art education, students learn through a variety of mediums and techniques as well as art history and other educational topics in related presentations and discussion. Programs are designed to support sibling groups varying in ages and abilities.
Some events are adult-only, such as the Homeschool Mama Art Retreat and Artsy Fartsy Date Night. Some classes are for smaller groups hosted in my home, such as the High School Art Group.
