Paintings made for celebration.

Michigan-based oil painter, specializing in live event painting, bouquet and wedding portraits, and bold florals.

Hi, I’m Em!

I’m an oil painter based in mid-Michigan. I’ve been an entrepreneur for years and am now finding incredible joy sharing my artwork with brides, interior designers, boutique hotels, and families looking to celebrate.

As a live event painter, my focus is on ease and entertainment. Any vendor should make the experience more delightful, not more stressful. I come prepared, chat with guests, and paint quickly, so viewers can enjoy watching the painting come to life.

How do commissions work?

PHASE 1: COLLABORATION

We’ll sit down and chat through your desires for your painting or live experience. I’ll guide you through visual, emotional, and logistic questions, so we make sure the experience is flawless.

PHASE 2: LOGISTICS

After we’ve chatted, I’ll prep a quote and timeline for your project. If live painting, I’ll reserve the date on my schedule and book any necessary travel.

PHASE 3: DELIVERY

Once your painting is complete, I’ll package it in the mail for safe delivery. If it’s a live painting, I’ll complete final details after the event and mail off as soon as it’s dry.

Your memories are precious.

Let’s celebrate ‘em.
