TRAVEL

HOW DO I BRING YOUR SERVICES TO MY VENUE?

I am based in Northwest Arkansas and will travel anywhere in the world to paint your love! Travel is complimentary for weddings that are local to NWA. If your venue is outside of NWA, I travel for $60.00 an hour up to 4 hours one way. If you are still searching for a fabulous venue, some of my favorite Northwest Arkansas wedding venues are Osage House, Sassafras Vineyard and the Kindred Barn. These beautiful spaces will not disappoint!

 

INVESTMENT

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO HIRE A LIVE ARTIST?

The investment for a live painting typically starts around $2,000. If you are considering hiring a live painter, research would prove this be your starting place. Pricing depends on a few things: type of supplies, artist’s experience level, travel costs and if the artist is in high demand. Since my calendar fills up quickly, I choose to offer a variety of packages for my brides and clients. Click the Book Now button to learn more about my unique packages.
