About this vendor
Weddings are special events and deserve special treatment. A high-quality, fine art oil painting, created live at your wedding, brings an extra touch of "special". I start the paintings at the reception, then bring them to a high level of finish over the next few weeks. Not only will you and your guests get to watch an artist in action, but you will have a unique artwork that will treasured for years, and even become an heirloom to be passed down through generations.
I'm a professional artist. Long before I began creating paintings at weddings and other special events, my paintings were winning awards in national and regional exhibitions. A collection of about 80 portrait drawings is in the permanent collection of the Smithsonian Museum of American History. My goal is to create a painting that captures your special moment.

From start to finish Skip was a pleasure to work with. He took the time to get to know us and what we wanted from our painting. He is also personable and we got so many compliments from our guests about their interactions with him during the event - it was definitely a highlight! The finished product is amazing and will be a cherished piece in our home for years to come! If you're looking for a unique addition to your reception that will also be a wonderful piece of art then Asheville Event Paintings is perfect!
I had seen wedding painters on Pinterest when I began my wedding planning journey, and I knew I wanted one for my special day. My family contacted my wedding planner and she sent them Skip's contact information. My family loved his portfolio and his history as a Navy Veteran as my husband is currently active duty in the Army. When I saw Skip painting during my reception I almost cried. I was definitely surprised! It was an amazing present. Skip vastly surpassed my expectations, and didn't shy away from the fact I had a very detailed black dress. Our painting is so detailed and realistic! It is probably my favorite art of my wedding for sure! You will not be disappointed if you hire him.
My fiancée and I were looking for something unique to capture our special day and were on the fence about videography. Our wedding planner suggested a live painter to capture a wedding scene and connected us with Skip. From our initial call with him, we knew we made a great choice! Skip went above and beyond to make sure we were 100% satisfied. He was amazing to work with and fit seamlessly into our wedding. His creative attention to detail and ability to capture the various personas at our wedding and transfer them to a painting were phenomenal. Our wedding guests also thoroughly enjoyed watching Skip work during our reception. He is truly passionate about his work and it reflects in our painting which we will now be able to cherish for a lifetime! We cannot recommend Skip enough if you are looking for something extra for your wedding.
