two truths and a lie
one year i painted 65 weddings and cried in december when I had 35 paintings to finish
one time i nearly rolled my suv trying to park it at a country wedding sideroad and the guys from the band had to help me get it out of the ditch
the furtherst i've driven for a wedding is 9.5 hours
they're all true because im not a liar
my favourite part is when you come to see the painting and then get emotional.
sometimes we even hug
they're painted entirely with oil paints. they are hand stretched by my own hands on some very high quality bars. the vision for the painting is planned out when i get to the venue, deciding where the backdrop is, how the couple is posed, the layout, the vibe etc i do all of this with my own brain and you will never find me asking chatgpt how to make a wedding painting or how to mix a colour.
sad we need to say this?
okay the paintings
my love of portraits started in grade 9 art class and ever since then that's all i've been doing. i learned to paint in 2016 (that was challenging and very different than pencils) and now i've been a professional artist for 8 years in the wedding industry.
grade 11, just for my own fun a casual 17 years ago somehow
the artist part
