Preserving your favorite moment for a lifetime...

Live event painting, also known as live wedding painting, is where an artist paints live at an event so the attendees can watch. This is usually seen at weddings, however live painting can also be done at bar/bat mitzvahs, Quinceanera's, sporting events, fundraisers, as an event activation, and any other type of gathering.  A live painter adds a wow factor  to any event and provides elevated, unique entertainment for your guests!

"My husband and I are filled with joy every time we look at the beautiful painting created for us by Cody. She's the best live painter in New York! It was such a pleasure to have her involved, taking her time to walk us through the entire process, and making sure to incorporate everything we wanted." - P.M.
