Nanette Catigbe Art

Owner | Artist

---Luxury Wedding Fine Art & Live Guest Portraits--- Nanette Catigbe Art creates heirloom wedding keepsakes crafted in fine art oil, watercolor, and romantic pastel. Each piece is tailored to your love story—whether a timeless couple portrait, a delicate bridal bouquet painting, or a hand-painted bridal accessory that becomes part of the celebration itself. Every artwork is created with archival materials and elegant botanical detail, designed to be treasured long after the wedding day. Based in Virginia and shipping nationwide, Nanette offers boutique, one-of-a-kind commissions that become lasting family heirlooms.

Nanette is both a fine artist and a custom keepsake painter, offering handcrafted heirloom artwork rather than mass-produced prints. Each commission is created with museum-quality materials, soft romantic finishes, and a storytelling approach that reflects the couple’s personality and celebration. Brides receive a refined, boutique art experience with a focus on elegance, sentiment, and legacy.

In three words: Collaborative, Confident, Creative

    Exquisite work

    Nanette Catigbe Art was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From our first in-person meeting, Nanette's hands-on approach and warm communication style put us at ease. Her personal touch and exquisite work truly elevated our intimate ceremony. Nanette's custom handpainted cookies were a stunning addition to our handpainted wedding cake, and her art gave such life and class to our special day. We are forever grateful to Nanette and would recommend her services to any couple looking to add a truly unique and meaningful element to their wedding.
