Emily is SO talented!

Emily was, hands-down, one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. She was able to capture a special moment and, quite literally, bring it to life on canvas. Not only do we have a special piece to cherish forever, but our guests LOVED getting to watch her paint! Emily even handed us the brush and let us add some details to the painting too. She is such a friendly, genuine person and I cannot recommend her enough!

Hey there!

My name is Emily, I was born and raised in Austin, Texas to a hilarious, artistic, and smart family (I'm one of four kids, third born, I feel ya all middle children). I studied Business at Texas A&M University (whoop) and landed my first real job at a small startup in Dallas that honestly wasn't too different from The Office.

Met my husband playing ultimate frisbee, moved to Madison, Wisconsin for five years, had identical twin daughters, moved to Knoxville, Tennessee and had just one more baby girl.

How did I go from a business degree to live wedding painting? It's a pretty long story but the very short version is that a year after my identical twins were born, I wanted to financially give to my friends working with refugees in Syria. I was still staying home with my twins, so I decided to teach myself to paint, convince my friends to buy my art, and donate the profits to help others.

A business was born.

As I grew my art business in Knoxville, a friend asked if I would live paint at her wedding. I had never heard of it and yet confidently said yes. :) I went from 1 wedding in 2020, to 4 weddings in 2021, to 18 weddings in 2022. Safe to say, I love this job.

Thank you for stopping by!
