~ Capturing your special day on canvas ~
What’n earth is a Live Event Painting, and how’s it work?
Hey folks, I’m Callie. And if you haven’t heard of live event paintings yet, here’s how it works:
You’re planning an event — be it a wedding or a garden party or a fish fry — and you book me to come and paint said event. After you’ve booked me, we’ll talk about what part of the event you’d like me to paint. For example, if I’m painting at your wedding, then you can decide if you’d like me to paint the ceremony, first dance, etc. (If you’d like me to include certain people in the painting, then be sure to ask. I can usually fit 8-10 recognizable people into a painting.)
Note: Live event paintings are impressionistic and focus on the moment. It’s not going to have a ton of detail, but I can make people identifiable by clothing, hair, and build. If you are looking for a detailed painting, then you might like to check out the commissions page.
I will stay for the greater part of the event, or until I have put a good portion of your awesome time on canvas! Then I’ll pack up and finish your awesome painting at my studio. This process takes 1-3 weeks (more or less), depending on how busy I am. When it is complete, I’ll contact you with a preview pic of the finished product. When we’re all satisfied, I’ll either mail or deliver your painting (depending on proximity).*
And you will live happily ever after.
*Shipping and handling costs will be calculated separately and added to the price of the painting.

Callie has been a vendor at our annual Taste and See bridal expo for the last two years. We also used her for our family wedding, and she was great! She captured the moment so perfectly. She is very pleasant to work with and very professional. I would highly recommend her for any event needing a live painting.
"Hiring Callie for our wedding was the best decision! She was an absolute dream to work with – so professional, kind, and the sweetest with our guests. Our guests were captivated watching her paint at our ceremony and reception, and it became a major talking point and entertainment throughout the night. The final painting is breathtaking; she perfectly captured the joy, details of the venue, even the details of our hair, dress and the flowers! It's more than just a painting; it's a vibrant, magical memory we'll cherish forever! Callie truly went above and beyond to create a unique, personal masterpiece that tells the story of our day. Highly, highly recommend!"
