Katie did a live painting at our wedding and it was such a wonderful experience. She did an amazing job capturing the day - including our close family and nearby landmarks that were special to us. In addition to being super talented, she's a great person to be around and to work with - she brings a great calm, positive, and kind energy.

II.
Exclusively Yours

The cornerstone of Katie’s work is connecting with her clients. She does this best by limiting the amount of couples she paints for every year. She takes pride in creating lasting friendships along with a work of art. When she’s a part of your day, you can rely on her full attention.

IV.
A Classical Art Approach

Influenced by the classical techniques of Monet, Degas, and other great masters of art, Katie approaches her paintings with careful consideration for composition, color, visual harmony, and the fleeting qualities of light. She uses these timeless traditions of art to create paintings that endure, aging finely and growing ever more valuable with time. Her goal is not to paint a picture replica of your day, but rather, how your day felt.

I.
Tailored & Immersive

Because every event, destination, and guest list is different, there is no one size fits all when it comes to creating exceptional wedding experiences. That’s why your painting will be thoughtfully tailored to suit your needs and dreams. Katie draws on her decade of creating for events, and network of industry friends to provide creative direction for an incomparable experience.

Not a detail missed.

We hired Katie to live paint at our wedding and WOW did she knock it out of the park. We chose Katie because we loved her style and her florals, plus she’s just a delight. We love, love, love our painting. My husband teared up when he saw it in our room at the end of the night.
We will cherish this piece of art forever.
