My live painting information will remain here for a limited time:
My work as a live event painter encapsulates all that I love about being an artist. Through examining interactions between people, I see real beauty and happiness. For me it’s about telling your life story, sharing in the most memorable events of your life and capturing all the emotions, atmosphere, and memories on canvas.
I would love to paint live at your next event. Use my contact form to check availability or call 202-768-2662.
