Testimonials
“My husband and I recently had the absolute pleasure of Emily completing a live painting during our wedding day. From our earliest discussions, Emily was kind and thoughtful as she aimed to not only create an experience, but also a portrait that would encapsulate our special day. Emily photographed us and helped us select an image, which she painted throughout the cocktail hour and reception. Our guests loved watching her paint a scene in real-time and continue to rave about how it elevated our wedding. The final painting is absolutely gorgeous and serves as a special memory that we’ll cherish. We highly recommend this unique addition to any wedding or special event. Thank you Emily!”
“I am so in love with my custom painting! Emily captured exactly what I wanted! It takes a certain eye to be able to bring a personality to canvas (in this case, my horse) and she did it flawlessly! I am so thankful and will cherish it forever! 10/10 recommend!”
“I have commissioned several pieces of art from Emily over the last ten years. She has always been wonderful to work with - professional, timely, with excellent quality and beautiful artwork. She was able to help me figure out exactly what I wanted prior to starting the pieces, and her art that I’ve given as gifts has always been well-received. I cannot recommend her enough, and I look forward to working with her more in the future as I decorate my new house!”
