About Milo Jakes Studio

Milo Jakes Studio

Owner/Sole Proprietor

This business is my heart and soul! It is a total dream to imagine my artwork in your home, making you feel beautiful and loved day after day. I am completely dedicated to designing an artful memorial to commemorate your happy marriage for your own life and generations to come.

I am a flexible but skilled professional that truly loves the job. Working with me is sure to be a one of a kind experience. I have extensively practiced live drawing both at my leisure, like in a live model setting, and under pressure, like documenting federal court trials for news outlets under multiple deadline periods per day. You can be sure that I will be happy to interact with you and your guests, in addition to delivering sincere and consistent work throughout your event.

In three words: Creative, Empathetic, Fun

    Milo's work literally brought us - and many guests - to tears! Their artwork is incredible, and I chose Milo originally based on their beautiful portfolio. Milo paints with so much life and movement, you really feel like the scene is jumping off the canvas. They were punctual, professional, easy to work with and made such a huge impact on my wedding day just by being there to capture the moment. We were between a few artists at first but Milo's portfolio and then personality when we first spoke definitely made it an easy decision!!!! 10/10, would absolutely hire again and I'm constantly recommending them for all my friends' weddings

    What a delight! I decided to contact Milo for a commissioned piece for my wife after we got engaged. Milo was wonderful to work with, absolutely nailed the photo and we love the painting. The texture is so cool and catches light at the best places. Milo also included a bonus canvas that they used as they mixed the paints with as their swatches when working on this lovely piece! Hire Milo for your next commissioned work that someone you love would love!

    What an amazing experience! Milo did a phenomenal job with a commissioned piece I wanted to gift to a recently married couple. The original photo I had was a blurry night shot, I provided the blurry photo and others of the couple and was able to create something that looks just like them! Milo’s style captured their essence and everything I could have hoped for! They asked a lot of questions and provided updates during the whole process, I would totally hire Milo again for a commissioned piece or any other artwork I may need in the future. Milo also went above and beyond and even found a cool frame for the picture to match perfectly before mailing it to the couple. And of course the married couple was very pleased capturing this moment!
