Wedding painting

Joy was so professional and promptly handled all of our questions. She arrived as scheduled and went straight to work on our daughter’s wedding day taking photos of the area and setting up her easel. During the reception, she was very receptive to guests stopping by and watching or talking with her. We received the final painting approximately four weeks after the wedding once Joy had completed and treated it. The final painting was realistic and beautiful! We were extremely pleased with Joy’s work and recommend her highly!

What a Joy!!!

There are absolutely not enough words to express the gratitude I have for Joy's talent, having her at our wedding, and having a piece of her art with us forever. Joy is incredibly talented and her work clearly speaks for itself. I will say though, people still tell me constantly how she was the most special/fun/different part they've ever seen in a wedding. And she soo was! Joy and her husband were fabulous with our guests from answering questions to allowing the many admirers. Joy is so great and I stop to admire our portrait every single day.

Joy is a real joy to work with

Joy’s live event painting brings a new dimension to wedding festivities! As well as the fascination of watching her paint at the wedding, her realistic paintings capture those special moments of that special day and bring the joy back each time you see your painting in your home, again and again. Joy does exactly what she says she will do, and she does it very well!

Extraordinary Live Painting Artist

Joy is the most incredible live painting artist! Her painting of my daughter and her husband's first dance was breathtaking. Everyone was in tears at how beautiful the painting was and how she captured their hearts. Joy is a delight to work with. If you are looking for a live painting artist, you should definitely choose Joy!

Amazing experience!

We love Joy’s work and we were so thankful that she was a part of Payton and Brook’s special day. The picture that Joy captured was beautiful and she painted it to perfection. Now the memory is hanging up for everyone to see. ❤️

Outstanding Work and Easy to work with

Our experience with Joy could not have been better. She was so easy to work with and the final result was a dream!! It is stunning!! She aims to please and make sure you are happy with the end result. Everyone at the reception enjoyed watching her paint also and she was wonderful interacting with the guests, etc. I would hire again in a minute!

Wonderful experience

Joy did a portrait for a friends daughters wedding and we were amazed. Immediately booked her when we found out our daughter was getting married. The entire experience was fantastic. Can’t say enough about her and the portrait. Highly recommend Joy!!

Live Event Artist

I highly recommend using Joy Varnell as your Live Event Artist! Joy has impeccable communication and attention to detail. Joy responds to your emails quickly and continues to follow up throughout the process. Joy created a beautiful painting for my daughters wedding and even included her pet dachshund Simon. Simon was unable to attend however Joy request pictures of Simon and was to include him in the painting. The couple was thrilled!
