how i became an Event Artist

Growing up in Camden, South Carolina I found myself captivated with the atmosphere of fields and ponds – the rays of light swaying on blades of grass and dancing along the ripples of water.  It is there in the countryside that I learned to draw and paint, paying close attention to the casting and changing of light through the seasons. From a young age, I always took my paints and easel outside to capture the lovely scenery around me. When the opportunity presented itself to do just that, except at a wedding, I jumped at the chance! That was in 2019 and I haven’t looked back! True to the original French Impressionists who painted en plein air, I would categorize my painting as lively and colorful, with a modern impressionistic twist.

As a Live Wedding Painter, I seek to capture all of the beauty that is around me. While once that was just the fields and the flowers, now my paintings are charged with the emotion and love felt between an adoring couple and their families. Of course, I still include the glory of the oceans and the mountains, just in the background of what is really important! I choose to continue to paint at weddings because I truly believe in the importance of marriage and the gift God gave us in sacred companionship.
