Heather Wolfe Art (Live Painting) 

5.0

Knoxville, TN
  • Live painters & artists

Get instant pricing on my website! With over a 1M views on social media, I'm thankful to see such a positive response to my artwork. My whole life I have loved art! My first day of Kindergarten, my parents asked me what I hoped to do at school that day. I responded by saying, "I want to paint, paint a picture for my sister." I studied art in college and received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Art Education from Tennessee Tech University in 2006. I worked as an art educator for several years and as a full time independent artist since 2012. I have been featured by a number of podcasts, magazines, TV, as a keynote speaker, and across the globe.

Heather Wolfe Art (Live Painting) was a true highlight of our wedding day. Heather's communication throughout the process was kind, thoughtful, and quick - she worked closely with us to understand our vision and delivered a stunning, detailed, and completely unique live painting that captured the beauty and joy of our special day. Everyone at the wedding raved about Heather's talent and how magical it was to watch the painting come together right before our eyes. Her professionalism and warm, personable demeanor made her one of the major highlights that our guests are still talking about. We feel so fortunate to have had Heather be a part of our wedding, and highly recommend her services to any couple looking for a truly special and memorable addition to their big day.

She painted a live watercolor of the couple’s wedding kiss at the reception, and it was incredible to witness. Her attention to detail, ability to color match, and the way she captured the emotion of the moment in such a delicate, artistic way left everyone in awe. Not only is she extremely talented, but Molly is also a true professional. Her communication was warm, kind, and genuine from start to finish. Watching her work in real time was such a unique and magical experience—and she completed the painting by the end of the reception!

As a result, the couple will receive a fully framed, ready-to-hang original artwork that will transport them back to this special day whenever they look at it.

Jane was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish! Not only was she incredibly sweet-- she kept in close touch throughout the process and answered any questions we had. Her professionalism, dedication to her craft, and pure talent are all top-notch. Jane traveled to south Florida and painted live at our wedding. She arrived early to start on the background of the painting and later took a photo of us after our ceremony to place us in the foreground. We were simply blown away at the side-by-side comparison of the painting vs the photo and how beautifully she crafted the composition. The piece we received is one we'll always cherish to commemorate our special day. Our guests were floored by the final product and so were we!

AmberMarie Art

Mission Viejo, CA
  • Live painters & artists
  • Starts at $1,900

I’m from Southern California and studied fine art in college along with a business degree. When Covid hit, it derailed my schooling and I took a work opportunity that fell in my lap. However, I threw my art to the wayside for about a year and found myself thinking that I was missing out on my dream. I did my first wedding in the summer of 2022. It was incredible to see the couples reaction to my work; something they can cherish for a life time and to create a unique experience not only for them, but for their guests! From there I decided to take the leap to provide this unique experience for others.

Amber Marie Art was an absolute delight to work with for our wedding day. From the very first interaction, Amber's warm and open communication style put us at ease. She was incredibly collaborative, working closely with us to understand our vision and then bringing it to life in a truly unique and detailed way. Amber's reliable work ethic and good attention to detail resulted in a stunning painting that captured the magic of our first kiss. It was such a special surprise from my mom, and Amber even engaged with our guests throughout the night as she painted live. I cannot recommend Amber Marie Art enough - this was a one-of-a-kind experience that we will cherish forever.

Art By Chris Brown 

5.0

New Britain, CT
  • Live painters & artists
  • Starts at $1,000

I have been an oil painter for 13 years. I love doing live painting events along with all my other showings I consistently participate in. Never had a dissatisfied customer in my whole career. I am very creative, colorful and expressive in my approach for each piece.

Chris was so great to work with, and we got such a cool piece of art from our wedding day. When my husband brought up the idea of getting a live painter I looked at him like he had 5 heads and thought it was something way out of our budget. But then we met Chris, and he was keen to do our event and his price was super reasonable! If you're looking for something unique to add to your reception, Chris is your guy. We met with him to discuss exactly what we wanted (though we also wanted to make sure there was plenty of room for his creative vision as well) and he delivered something I think even beyond our expectations. He's super personable, professional, and happy to chat with guests about his work if they ask. Thanks so much for such a great memento!
