I've been painting for over 10 years and enjoy capturing the excitement and energy of weddings on canvas. I taught painting classes at Uptown Art, Arte, and Paintbar for 5 years and that is where I truly became comfortable painting in front of people. Over the years I have developed a style that compliments live wedding painting very well. Influenced by the great impressionist artists like Van Gogh and Monet, I paint fast and highlight as many details as possible in ways similar to these artists. Having a background in figure drawing allows me to accurately portray the wedding couple.
