About Stephanie

I'm an artist and live wedding painter, wife & momma, teacher, mentor, and podcast host.

But I'm so much more than that. I hope to be your friend and confidant, and help you to build your legacy as an artist.

I still have the same mission, by the way. (That's how I know it was a good one!)

It all started with pet portraits. And tiny watercolor houses. And nursery murals, and other personal requests from people in my hometown.

Then someone asked me to paint at their wedding.

I decided to give it a shot, and loved it so much that I threw in all my chips, and built my business and reputation on being the best live wedding painter in town. I embraced the motto "Bold, Creative, Passionate and Genuine," and poured my heart into every painting I created.

So young and naive... but brave!

I quit my job and created an art business with a single mission:
To bring joy to others through my work.

ONCE UPON A TIME

Now, I share what I know and provide guidance for other artists and live wedding painters

Over the past 10 years, I’ve been fortunate to work in every level of the wedding industry, serve hundreds of couples, and grow a multi-faceted art business all while being featured in leading publications across the country. I learned more about myself as an artist than any art school could have taught, and through it all, one thing remained the same: my mission to bring joy to people through my work.

As creative entrepreneurs, we take big risks in order to pursue the life we want. We all deserve (and have the great fortune) to have careers that not only provide a sustainable living, but also give us the freedom and flexibility that we crave.

The good news is that you don’t have to choose between success and freedom. I’m here to help you achieve both, right from the comfort of your studio.

Of course, you can continue to forge your own path to success at your own pace, or you can learn from a seasoned pro, and expedite the process.

This lamp is portable, lightweight and bendy to fit in your bag, and provides four settings of natural light that wont skew how you see your colors. Big fan.
