Here’s what others have to say about their experience:

I was in awe.

“I had the pleasure of meeting Heidi at a Disney wedding, and I was immediately intrigued when I saw her set up with an easel. She explained that she is a live painter, creating a portrait of the bride and groom during their ceremony. Watching her work was absolutely incredible, seeing the painting come to life from the first brushstrokes to the final masterpiece was mesmerizing. By the time it was complete, I was in awe. What an amazing and meaningful keepsake for the bride and groom to treasure forever. Heidi’s talent is truly remarkable!”

The sweetest woman you’ll ever meet

“Heidi is the sweetest woman you’ll ever meet! She did a live painting of our customers wedding party and it turned into a master piece! I was so impressed the way she stayed calm, stand and focused during the whole 5h service. Thank you for your professionalism and your kindness, I m referring your talent to all our guests!”

There is something magical about working with Heidi.

“I commissioned a piece of art from Heidi, and while it was not mural-sized nor was it a live event, man do I hope I get to work with her someday in both of those contexts! Because truly, there is something magical about working with Heidi.

She exudes joy, warmth, and creativity, and that together with her technical expertise not only lead to beautiful art made with love, but also a creation process that in and of itself is a unique and memorable experience.

Her communication is thorough, warm, clear, and insightful. In the case of the painting I worked on with her, I had a rough concept that I wanted to capture, and through several discussion sessions it became a fun collaborative process to refine and bring my idea to life – and I’m so grateful Heidi was determined to fulfill whatever vision I had in my head! She literally gave it wings 🙂

Thank you again so much, Heidi!”

Our Expectations were high, and Heidi exceeded them.

We are truly delighted with Heidi’s work. In opening a therapy and community space we wanted to create an environment the inspired whimsy, joy, and peace. She captured this beautifully in her work.

This piece is so prominent in our space, so choosing the right muralist was crucial. To say Heidi exceeded our expectations is not only an understatement, it’s an achievement, because our expectations were high.

Heidi had insights of an industry pro that impressed us. She noted recent construction in our space, however cleaned-up, would mean a more thorough wash of the canvas (wall), an insight I hadn’t thought to share.

Heidi met with us multiple times before beginning our project, and throughout, to ensure her design met our expectations. She was able to ask questions in a way that moved the vision in my head to the canvas.

We are absolutely pleased with the mural, and our clients comment on its beauty often. We will absolutely work with Heidi again should we have an opportunity.

Really elevated the guest experience

“Working with Heidi was a true pleasure!! Our team recently worked with Heidi for our KCRW Presents: Supper Splash by Aqualillies Show Series, where she Live Painted our synchronized swimming performances! It was a really cool experience seeing our watershow come to life on a canvas – and 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! Thank you again :).”

Her care for her craft shined through in every interaction

“Heidi made an absolutely beautiful painting during my wedding this past August. As a professional dancer, it was so special to be celebrated by a fellow artist in this way. My guests were also delighted to watch Heidi work throughout the evening. She took such care in selecting the perfect moment from our sunset photos for the portrait. I loved how it turned out, perfectly capturing the rustic romantic setting. Not only do I highly recommend her work, but working with her was a dream. Her care for her craft and fulfilling our hopes for the piece shined through in every interaction. The process was a delight from start to finish!.”

It’s a one of a kind piece that means the world to us.

“Heidi did a live painting at my wedding in November of 2021. The whole experience was absolutely incredible! Working with Heidi was a breeze. She walked us through the whole process, keeping it very stress-free for me, and had a smooth time working with our coordinator and venue. Our guests were so taken with the whole event! They would gather around throughout the wedding to watch the painting happen right before their eyes from start to finish. People got a real kick out of spotting themselves in the crowd on the canvas! We completley adore our finished painting and have it hanging on our living room wall. It’s a one of a kind piece that means the world to us. Heidi is not only an amazing artist, but just an all around great and lovely person. Having her attend the wedding was our honour! For anyone that’s looking to elevate their special day and add another touch of magic to it, you will not regret having Heidi do one of her live paintings for you! Don’t miss out on this fantastic experience!”

A perfect encapsulation of the event

A true artist…

“Heidi is a true artist with all the technical knowledge needed to create beautiful murals, which is why I went to her for a brush up on some skills. Finally feel I can create some beautiful cloudscapes!”

Guests are still talking about how cool it was

“We are WAY overdue in praising Heidi for adding such a fun element to our farm wedding. She truly went way above and beyond in asking questions, arriving early, setting up, and wowing the crowd as she captured our post nuptials.

Guests are still talking about how cool it was to see her painting come to life before their very eyes. The colors and details of my tulle wedding gown are so pretty, and the painting is a cool keepsake for us. Ok, so our faces are left a little bit to interpretation. LOL. I’d consider one of her fun guest/crowd paintings – b/c faces are usually a bit difficult to capture, especially for a wedding portrait But the energy of the day, and moment, is clear – and the pop of color with the bridal bouquet is the chef’s kiss!!”

She started with color theory and understanding light…

“Heidi agreed to teach me and help me paint a mural. She started with color theory, understanding light and now I have a beautiful unicorn on my back wall! I love working with her and learning! She is awesome!”

Her presence was so calming amidst all the chaos!

“Five stars really isn’t enough but it was the most we could give! Heidi was so amazing from start to finish. She met with us ahead of the wedding so she could make sure to capture our values and get an image that made our special day even better.

On the day of the wedding she was there early, with plenty of time to scope out the venue and find the perfect place to capture the moment. Her presence was so calming amidst all the chaos!

Our guests loved watching her work and were so intrigued by the concept of having a live painter (as was I!). They were also so impressed at the fact that the painting really looked like us! (I mean… that IS the idea, right? Lol)

Heidi delivered the final painting to us in a beautiful wrapping that looked almost too good to open. I would highly recommend her to any couples considering a live painter for your wedding- you won’t be disappointed!”
