Greg Finck La fortaleza Mallorca Spain Live Wedding Painting Katie Geis

Working with Katie

Katie regularly collaborates with wedding planners, event producers, and design teams to seamlessly incorporate live painting into the event experience.

Katie is experienced working within tight event timelines and coordinating directly with planners to ensure the painting enhances the guest experience without disrupting the flow of the evening.

Katie regularly travels internationally and is experienced transporting materials and shipping finished artwork safely to clients worldwide. Travel arrangements and logistics can be coordinated directly or through the planning team.

  • Katie’s work blends impressionistic brushwork with vibrant color and architectural detail. Rather than creating rigid realism, her paintings capture the atmosphere and movement of a moment — the glow of candlelight, the softness of evening skies, and the energy of guests gathered together.

    The result is a painting that feels alive, expressive, and timeless.
