Live Event Painting
With love from Heidi
“We got immense feedback from event attendees about how much they loved seeing Heidi’s process of live painting! It was a hugely positive addition to our event and really elevated the guest experience!”
-Aqualillies and KCRW presents Supper Splash
Delight your guests with the magic of live art:
Created with their energy, before their eyes.
I arrive 2-3 hours before attendees, set up my easel and provide painting entertainment through the duration of the event. I create an impressionistic scene of the gala in real time. Guests love chatting with me and finding themselves on the canvas.
If your event is a fundraiser that includes a silent auction, the painting then can be included and go home that night with the happy winning bidder. Or, you may choose to gift the painting to a key benefactor or honored guest. Nothing else comes close when saying “thank you” for the magic of those moments.
I only need about 5’x7′ of space at the perimeter of the event, and everything else comes with me. The wonder stays with you.
Hi! I’m Heidi.
I paint sights and feelings.
Your event is going to be stunning. And, there will be so so much more going on that just what the eye sees.
I paint what the heart experiences at your event. I paint gathering, joy, celebration, and dancing.
Soft and full of movement, these paintings feel like memories. They’re bubbles of joy, and fever dreams of precious moments. Let’s hang on to them forever.
1. We plan. Over phone or Zoom, we’ll work together to craft your perfect scene.
2. I prep
I’ll be studying your venue in advance for the best views. On the day of, I’ll arrive a couple hours before guests and start the initial layers on the canvas.
3. We party
All the big details of the painting will happen during the party… as long as your peeps are still there rocking out, so am I. I love to gab with your friends while I paint.
4. You have a painting!
The painting will look great for end of the night photos, and also most likely come home with me after event night, for a little extra in-studio love. We’ll coordinate shipping or pickup to get it back to you and its forever home!
Heidi was a dream to work with! She was so diligent in scoping out the venue prior to the event. She was so thoughtful with her work and added so many elements that made the piece that much more special! She was so professional and kind. I would recommend her to anyone!

“Heidi devotes so much care and attention to her work and it shows! She also listens well to her customer’s needs, and in my case did a fantastic job interpreting my (very) vague guidance. “
