About

Have you ever wanted to be captured in an oil painting? Now you can with Kim's Event Paintings for your wedding day or any other special occasion. My business based out of Austin, Texas is an original and artistic gift designed to inspire a memory and evoke a magical moment in the form of a painting. I have trained and studied traditional painting techniques for years. Rest assured, I will bring my love for painting and my skillset to the table.

Services Offered

As your wedding event painter I will personally help you decide the perfect location at your wedding venue to set up, paint and capture your moment while its happening in real time. I will get there 5 hours early to set up and start painting the background and scenery while waiting for you and your quests to arrive at your wedding venue.

My work is created with oil paints giving you an amazing finish and beautiful color quality. After your wedding I will take your painting back to my studio, add important finishing touches and allow your painting to dry. Your painting gets a final varnish sealing which is necessary to protect the painting as well as to bring out the luminosity and depth you traditionally see in oil paintings. The process takes 3 months for drying, after which your painting will be mailed directly to you. I promise it will be well worth the wait. Contact me for a free phone consultation.

Outstanding and Professional Artist

We had Kim paint for our celebration and could not be happier with the results! Not only is she a fantastic artist with a discernible eye for detail and movement, she was also always friendly, prompt, and expeditious with responding. She set expectations accordingly, then proceeded to exceed them. We highly recommend Kim for painting your celebrations and would be happy to work with her again!

I have worked with Kim on a number of large art related events, which required great people & organizational skills-- at which she excels. She is an excellent artist and will capture special moments with charm & skill. Kim is a pro, but she will treat you like a friend.

Review of Kimberly Karnes, Artist

I have been privileged to witness Kim's progression as a professional artist for the last dozen or so years. She has a natural ability to capture the essence of a person or scene with uncanny accuracy and depth. The portraits she has completed have a true life-like quality and the outdoor scenes have vivid or muted colors that match reality. She has a rare and valuable talent.

Kim Karnes Wedding Experience

After viewing Kim Karnes' portfolio of several portraits and landscapes it would be an asset to have any of her wedding day portraits in our home. Her attention to detail will last forever. Kim is very professional and caring. She wants to make this event the lasting memory it will become. I would highly recommend Kim for your wedding memory.
