Best Decision Ever!

I could not recommend Laura enough to paint your wedding live painting. Laura captured our wedding so perfectly in the painting and it is a keepsake that we will cherish forever. We had an amazing experience with Laura. Everything was very seamless from our initial conversation and pre-wedding phone call to seeing the final painting come to life. Laura All of our guests loved watching the painting come to life over the evening and the grand reveal of the painting at the end of the wedding was one of our favorite moments. We cannot recommend using Laura for your live painting enough!

Stunning Lowcountry Dining Room Mural

I am absolutely in love with the stunning mural of the South Carolina Lowcountry that Laura Welch created on my dining room wall! Her work is nothing short of breathtaking, capturing the serene beauty and soul of the Lowcountry with incredible detail and artistry! The immersive scene is definitely a statement as you enter our home. Laura is a wonderful person and fantastic to work with. She is truly a talented artist, and she completed the mural in just a few days. I could not be happier with the result! I highly recommend her to anyone looking to add beauty and inspiration to their home!

Live Painting- Wedding

Laura was very communicative throughout the entire process and she typically replied to our emails within the hour. She is very talented and her work is so amazing! It was definitely a huge hit at our wedding- people loved coming over to watch her do the live painting. We also ordered thank you notes through Laura and they are absolutely beautiful.

Our favorite vendor!!

Laura is the most talented live wedding artist I have seen. She was extremely responsive throughout the entire planning process and she is very sweet. Our guests were WOWed by her work and how quickly she was able to finish the painting (by the end of the reception)! She has a detailed, easy-to-complete questionnaire on what part of you wedding you want painted, who do you want in it, do you want to add any special memorable items. We added a hummingbird for my grandma who is no longer with us and Laura was nice enough to let me know the morning of the wedding that she had a hummingbird fly right by her that day. Very very special. She also brought a content creator who was in training with her to capture reels and additional pictures of our big day which were also great! HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend!!!

Gorgeous Live Wedding Painting

We engaged Laura for our daughter’s wedding and are so glad we did. Her work is truly amazing and was a highlight of the reception. Laura was very professional from the outset and engaged with our daughter before the wedding in planning the painting. Her work was so spectacular that we gave her a special shout out during the reception and everyone applauded her amazing work. So many people asked us where we found her. Her painting will be a family heirloom. We’re so glad we engaged Laura!

Awesome day of wedding experience and a gift we get to enjoy forever.

This was a wedding gift for myself and I am so glad I booked a living painting experience with Artistic i. She came highly recommended by my planner, Morgan Jenny with Hill & Co. Creative. Her set up was gorgeous and our guests still talk about how cool it was to watch the painting progress throughout the evening. We are so grateful to have the night captured in this way and it is such a special gift that we will have forever.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
