Question 1

How would you describe your painting style?

Accepted Answer

Semi-realistic/impressionistic with a colorful, gestural background and a detailed focal point. You can peruse my portfolio for examples of my work.

Question 2

Will you travel to our wedding?

Accepted Answer

Of course! I will travel to virtually any wedding location. An additional fee may apply to locations outside of New York City or Long Island.

Question 3

How much space do you require at the event?

Accepted Answer

I only need a 5 ft by 5 ft space, an outlet, and a water source. I supply the rest (the easel, paints, drop cloth, etc.).

Question 4

Do you paint everything live?

Accepted Answer

I paint the first layer of the painting live. I take plenty of reference photos or videos so that I may capture your likeness on the wedding day and in the studio, rather than working entirely from memory. Back in the studio, I will paint additional layers to finish the work.

Question 5

Do your paintings come framed?

Accepted Answer

No, but they don’t need to be! My paintings are cradled wood panels with 7/8 in. finished edges, meaning they may be displayed as is. However, it is possible for you to bring the canvas to a professional framer if desired.

Question 6

How many people can we include in the painting?

Accepted Answer

Two completed faces are included in the pricing. A colorful crowd can be included in the background, but additional detailed figures will include an additional fee.

Question 7

What materials do you use?

Accepted Answer

Oil paint on cradled wood panels.

Question 8

Will you interact with our guests?

Accepted Answer

Yes, guests are welcome to ask questions and peek over my shoulder. I know that your family and friends are important to you, and I will treat them with the utmost kindness!
