Your Love Story in Hawaii with a Live Event Artist
Aloha, I’m Ariel Quiroz
I’m a Maui-based portrait and wedding painter. I work with couples and planners to elevate ceremonies, receptions, and special events with live guest portraits, caricatures, and live wedding painting that become heirlooms. If you’re looking for a live artist to paint the wedding, entertain guests, and create meaningful keepsakes, you’re in the right place.
The Most Memorable Experience at Your Wedding...
Many weddings have beautiful photos, but couples often want something more personal, something that feels like them. I understand that you want your celebration reflected in a way that feels unique, artistic, and genuine. That’s why I love bringing live fine art to your wedding. I paint on-site as your day unfolds, capturing the light, the moment, the mood. Meanwhile, your guests enjoy watching the artwork emerge and can have their own portrait done for a fun keepsake.
And the guest portraits become an experience all on their own. They’re quick, expressive sketches that capture each person’s personality while keeping the line moving. Guests love watching their friends get painted, sharing laughs, and comparing their portraits throughout the night. It adds energy, connection, and a touch of artistry to the reception, and everyone walks away with something personal they’ll actually keep.
At the end of the night, the couple receives a one-of-a-kind painting, and everyone leaves with something meaningful. It becomes more than a guest activity; it becomes a legacy piece.
Live Art Services
What is a live artist?
I’m a live artist and wedding painter who creates original artwork on site in real time. Guests watch the live painting unfold, interact with the process, and you keep the finished wedding painting or wedding portrait as a meaningful keepsake.
What is a live wedding painting?
A live wedding painting is a fine art canvas that I create during your ceremony or reception. I arrive early to set the scene, paint your chosen moment in real time, and add light studio refinements for a polished, heirloom wedding art piece. Common scenes include first look, ceremony, first dance, or sunset. This is an event painting that entertains your guests while I’m painting the wedding.
What are Live Guest Portraits?
Also called fashion illustration or sketch portraits (sometimes guest illustration or fashion sketches), these are swift, flattering portraits created live in caricature, marker, watercolor, or acrylic. I always draw expressive faces with eyes, smiles, and personality, not faceless hairstyle-only sketches, so your guests take home frame-worthy portraits that look like them and feel alive.
I invite you to schedule a free consultation or explore my portfolio to see how we can make your event truly unforgettable.
