Live Events FAQs

How does it work?

  • I arrive at the event ahead of time (so long as the venue allows it) and begin to paint the background. As the guests start to arrive they will see the painting start to come to life.

  • Prior to the event we will have discussed the moment that is meant to be painted (as an example, for a wedding this may be the first dance or the first kiss). When the time comes, I will record the moment with my phone.

  • Throughout the rest of the event I will paint the details of the moment as well as any extra details that were agreed upon beforehand.

  • At the end of the event, the painting will be ready for you to take home!

 

How does payment work?

I require a non-refundable deposit as well as a signed contract to be sent to me to secure your event date. The remaining is then to be paid one week before the event!

 

How do I book with you?

Please send me a message via email with the event details and package size that you are interested in. You can also fill out the contact form at the bottom of the Live Events webpage which will be directed to my email!

 

How long does the art take?

My services include up to 10 hours of live painting coverage. The time will vary for each event. If the venue allows it, I will generally head there early to get a head start on the background of the piece. I will then work on the painting throughout the rest of the event and have it finished for you to take home by the end of the night!

 

What mediums do you work in?

I currently only offer acrylic paintings for my live event services. Although I do plan to introduce watercolour as an option in the future.

Would you paint an event outside of Toronto?

Gladly! I would love to travel to your event—whether it is outside of Toronto or out of Canada—I’m there!

  • For events within 1.5 hours of Toronto I would travel there at no cost

  • For events over 1.5 hours away I would require a gas fee and may require overnight accommodation.

  • Events over 4 hours away (or international events) may require flights as well as overnight accommodation.

 

Will the artwork be framed?

The paintings will be done on 1.5” deep canvases which can be put up on your wall as is. It would be up to you if and how you would like to have it framed in the future.

Is there anything that you would need from the venue?

I bring all of my own supplies! I would just need an outlet near by (in case I need to use my lamp) and access to water.
