FAQs

How much do you charge?

We offer 2 packages flexible for most budgets and guest counts!

__________________________________

Package A: Signature Live Painting Experience

I paint live at your event for 2–3 hours, creating elegant watercolor portraits of your guests as the event unfolds. The experience doubles as live entertainment and a unique and thoughtful takeaway for your guests.

Any portraits not completed on-site are finished after the event and mailed to you.

Investment

  • Signature live painting experience starting at $1,000
  • Pricing based on guest count ($10/guest) and coverage time ($200/hour)
  • All guest portraits included

Example: 100 guests with 2 hours of live painting → $1,400 total

Large-scale events (250+ guests): Custom pricing available. Inquire for high volume or multi-day events.

🎯 Save 5% when booked 365+ days in advance

👉 Limited availability during peak wedding and event seasons.

🖌️ Custom paper options also available! Inquire below.

  • Post-wedding day favors
  • Corporate gifting & client thank-yous
  • Post-event mailers

Investment

  • $10 per person painted
  • Minimum of 25 people
  • No travel fees

Example:

50 guests → $500

How do I book you?

After you fill out the form below, we will work together to determine which package works best for you. Then I will send over the letter of agreement and the link for you to make the refundable $300 deposit. The deposit is refundable up to 90 days before your event. Once the deposit is paid, you date is reserved! Deposit may differ for out of state events.

What does set up look like at the venue?

All I ask is for one 6-ft table and 2 chairs. I will bring all the necessary art supplies and signages.

Helpful tip: I suggest placing a cocktail table nearby the live art station for guests to place their drinks on.

Are there portrait restrictions?

  • I can fit a maximum of 4 people in a portrait. Please note, there will only be one copy of each portrait.
  • Each guest can only appear in one portrait. (no duplicates)
  • I do not accept special requests during the live art event. 

Do guests need to pose the whole time?

Once their picture is taken they are free to walk around while I create the portrait. But they are more than welcome to watch!
