    A Must Have Vendor!

    Simone was absolutely wonderful in every way! I truly wasn’t expecting to hire a live painter, but when my husband and I caught a glimpse of her work at an expo, we knew we had to have her be a part of our wedding day! Her attention to detail and pure talent brought our emotions of the day to life. Anyone who sees our painting, now hanging in our home, says they can feel our joy in every brushstroke. I hope to keep in touch with Simone for as long as possible. She is truly a joy in this world and I highly recommend her for any event, but especially for your wedding!

    Wedding Live Painting

    Simone is an amazing artist and professional and was the perfect collaborator on our wedding day! She captured our moment in the park better than any photo and the fact that she did much of the painting live on the dance floor of our wedding makes it even more astounding! Our guests loved watching her process and she was always game to answer any questions they had. It was truly the highlight of the night for many of our guests and us. After the wedding she maintained excellent communication on where she was in the process and delivered the final product right on time. As for the painting, the work speaks for itself. It is perfect and is now the centerpiece of our home. Every day we look at it in awe!

    Simone could not have been better to work with and delivered a painting that was even better than we could have imagined. She took time well in advance of our wedding to discuss exactly what we wanted and brought the piece to life with mastery and care. Simone constantly looked for ways to make our experience working with her better, including by including our dog in the painting upon request, offering additional pieces on top of what was included in our package, and even going out of her way to hand-deliver the completed product to us. Simone was perfectly on time, could not have been nicer, and was a central figure in our wedding as she continued painting from ceremony through the end of the reception. Our guests were able to watch her paint when they went to the bar/took a break from dancing, and we received so many compliments about Simone during and after the wedding. We highly recommend Simone to anyone looking for a truly unique element to add to their wedding, with a special keepsake to have for the rest of your life.

    Simone captured our wedding in a beautiful painting that we absolutely love. She took a perfect reference photo as we walked down the aisle and spent the reception painting it. All of our guests loved watching her talent and the painting come to life! Would highly highly HIGHLY recommend her, and she's the sweetest person too!

    Simone is such a sweet, hardworking, professional artist! She set up meetings with my husband and me before our wedding to find out what kind of painting we wanted and never rushed us to make a decision. Leading up to the wedding, she checked in at timely intervals to coordinate timing and placement for her to arrive and paint. After the wedding, she gave us plenty of time and freedom to recommend any edits to our painting. She was so willing and happy to make adjustments to ensure we were completely happy with the final result. We are so grateful to have worked with such a kind and amazing artist, and that everything went so smoothly. We absolutely love our painting!

    Jordan! This is such a kind review - thank you so much! It was such a pleasure painting you on your wedding. I hope you enjoy!!!


Semi-realistic/impressionistic with a colorful, gestural background and a detailed focal point. You can peruse my portfolio for examples of my work.
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.
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.).
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.
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.
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.
Oil paint on cradled wood panels.
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!
