My Live Painting Process

In‑Depth Consultation – We discuss your vision, preferred moments, and must‑have details. Booking 6–18 months out secures prime dates—especially during summer or whale‑watching season.
Coordinator Alignment – I work closely with your wedding planner or on‑site coordinator to confirm timelines, layout, and venue guidelines so the painting experience flows seamlessly with the day’s events.
Day‑Of Setup – I arrive early, scout the best vantage point, and start painting the wedding by sketching key elements before guests arrive. My compact, spill‑safe setup keeps venues pristine.
Real‑Time Event Painting – As your ceremony unfolds, I capture candid gestures, tropical backdrops, and radiant aloha spirit. Guests love watching their surroundings appear on canvas.
Studio Refinement & Varnish – Back in my Maui studio, I refine portraits, enrich colors, and seal the piece with archival varnish. Your Wedding Art ships—or hand‑delivers—ready to display.
