    I selected Jules to Live paint a wedding portrait as a gift for my son’s destination wedding in Maui and could not be more pleased with that decision. From start to finish she has been an absolute pleasure to work with. She communicated consistently throughout the process right up until the day of the wedding, and she fit in seamlessly at the event. She engaged the adults and the children throughout the evening and made everyone’s attention to her process a joyful encounter. I cannot recommend having Jules as a live wedding painter or event painter enough. I am hoping to have the opportunity to work with her again in the future.

    Jules is an incredible artist, but what makes her truly special is her ability to inspire creativity in others. We met her during her artist residency at the Ritz-Carlton Maui, where she invited guests to help paint a beautiful surfboard mural. Instead of simply watching an artist at work, she created an experience that made everyone feel like they were part of the art. The finished surfboard was stunning, but the memories of creating it together were even more meaningful. Our entire family loved the experience—especially my kids. Watching them get so excited about painting and expressing themselves was something I’ll never forget. What I didn’t expect was how much it would impact me personally. Jules reignited a creative spark that had been dormant for years. After returning home, I picked up a paintbrush for the first time in a long time, and I haven’t stopped painting since. More than six months later, creating art has become one of the most fulfilling parts of my life, and it all traces back to that afternoon with Jules. That’s the gift Jules has. She doesn’t just create beautiful artwork—she inspires other people to discover the artist within themselves. If you ever have the opportunity to experience one of her workshops, collaborations, or projects, don’t hesitate. It’s far more than an art class; it’s an experience that stays with you long after the paint has dried.

    Aloha Bergen! I cannot thank you enough for these meaningful words 🙏 it brings me so much joy to see you pursuing your art again and to know that it was inspired by your time creating with me is beyond words! I so enjoyed getting to know you and your family, and am so grateful you all got to be such a memorable part of my artist residency. I can’t wait to see what you create next!

    Jules is a gifted and professional artist. We hired Jules to paint two murals for our healing space. Jules managed the timeline, our expectations, and the execution beautifully!! We get compliments on her work every single day. The best part? Working with her is a dream. I’m only sad it’s over because I don’t have an excuse to see her work everyday as she does her magic.

    Thank you so much for these kind words, Bo! It was a dream to work with you as well, I am so grateful for the opportunity and your trust in creating these murals for your business! 🥰✨


I begin the painting onsite during your wedding day and continue building layers, detail, and atmosphere throughout the celebration. Final refinements are completed afterward in the studio.
Yes — I am available for weddings throughout Hawai'i and destination celebrations worldwide.
The foundation of the painting is created live during the wedding, with final details completed afterward to ensure the finished artwork feels polished and complete.
Couples often choose ceremonies, first dances, sunset portraits, or meaningful reception moments — but each composition is fully customized.
Final delivery timelines vary slightly depending on size and travel schedule, but most paintings are completed within several weeks after the wedding.
Yes! I will handle the packaging and shipping. If you are a local Maui resident I can personally drop off your piece. Please allow a few weeks for touch-ups and glazing and an additional few weeks for shipping and handling.
I will bring all of my own gear including a simple set up with my easel, paints, brushes, and a light to see by. From the venue I will need a place to set up with a view of the scene, about 5ft x 5ft, access to water and a sink to clean brushes, and an electrical outlet. If there is weather at an outdoor venue, I will need coverage or a space to paint inside.
Of course! My base rate includes just the bride and the groom (and any pets!). I can include up to 10 additional people at $100 each, to be discussed during our discovery call.
Once you submit my Live Wedding Painting Inquiry form, I will set up a Discovery Call with you and create a proposal based on your painting needs. Once approved, I will send a contract and an invoice for my retainer fee, which is 30% of the total. Your date is not secured until the contract is signed by both parties and the retainer fee has been paid.
I use the highest quality materials, all archival and museum quality. I use acrylic paints like Golden artist acrylic paints on stretched canvas.
