Live Event Painting
With love from Heidi
There’s nothing like bringing a painting to life, together…
An experience crafted over thousands of years
From the days of cave walls and clay pots, painting is our OG human way to mark important moments.
For good reason – the process of making art from nothing speaks to some deep part of ourselves. As if through the millennia, we feel part of something larger.
I bring that experience to today’s parties, planning, and structuring a scene that captures the energy of your event, then guiding guests to paint it with me. The finished project is a vibrant, living canvas: infused with what you stand for, and the hearts of who you stand with.
“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!”

Your vibe. Made visible.
You’ve poured months of focus and creative soul into your event. Its as unique as the chosen humans you’re gathering for it.
You need to harness that lightning, in more than photographs.
We can do that, together. Full of vibrant colors and impressionistic brush strokes, you’ll take away a canvas of emotion and movement. Your guests will take away a pride of accomplishment and memory of having surprised themselves!
Boost your non-profit fundraising
If your charity gala has a silent auction, the painting can be included and go home that night with the delighted 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.
A stress-free addition
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.
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. “
