Sheila Foley, is an experienced artist based just north of Boston, MA. A live event painter since 2010, Sheila offers two separate services.

1). A fine art acrylic painting on canvas, focused on the couple within their background setting. Sheila creates the work of art totally on site and in real time. The painting goes home with the client that night. Her style is Impressionistic, not photographic. The people on Sheila's canvases have personality and inhabit their space.

2) GUEST PORTRAITS. Quick sketches of individual guests or pairs done in pen, with watercolor touches. These are done face-to-face from life, not from photos. Sheila captures their essence, body language, expressions. Each painting should take about ten minutes.

This is a separate service, not an add on. Either a wedding painting OR guest portraits.

Commissions are also welcome.

Services Offered

While Sheila Foley mainly paints live at weddings, she can also do individual portraits or paintings after your wedding is over. Provided with reference photos, with permission of the copyright holder (professional photographer), Sheila can recreate the joy of your special day. Her custom and personalised works of art reflect the spontaneity of a couple’s wedding. Her standard size of 12x16 inches can be painted totally onsite and presented to the couple before the close of the event. Paintings based on photos, provided after the wedding, can be done in a variety of sizes or art media.
