South Louisiana Live Wedding Painter

Hand-painted heirloom oil paintings, created live at your wedding in New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Lafayette and the Northshore.

Your wedding day goes by in a flash. That’s why I set up my easel right at your venue: to freeze those moments in paint while they’re actually happening. Your guests get to watch the canvas come to life throughout the night, and you walk away with a painting that brings you right back to how it felt to say "I do."

Whether you want to capture your vows in real-time or prefer a custom studio commission from a favorite photo, I work directly with your planner and photographer so everything runs smoothly.

Hey there,

I’m Jessica—a Louisiana artist and potter based in south Louisiana. My studio is the heart of a busy home. Between the blueberry farm and family life, I create art designed to handle the real, beautiful lives of the people who take them home. While I specialize in live wedding paintings & studio commissions ,every piece is made to become a sacred part of your everyday life.

My studio isn't exactly a place of 'solitude'—it’s the heart of a home that’s always moving. I squeeze in time at the wheel or easel or kitchen table. These pieces aren't made in silence; they’re made in the middle of it all, designed to handle the real, busy lives of the people who take them home.

“She is hands down the best live painter and has the sweetest personality.”

“Jessica helped me incorporate her into the painting in such a beautiful and meaningful way.”

A Thoughtful, Seamless Experience

I work closely with planners, photographers, and coordinators to ensure the painting process enhances your wedding day without disrupting the timeline. My approach is calm, professional, and respectful of the moment.

Whether you’re planning a wedding, commissioning a painting, or collecting handmade work, I’d love to connect.

Live Watercolor Guest Portraits

Give your guests something to take home. I set up at your reception and paint a watercolor portrait for every guest who wants one, about 7 to 8 minutes each. They love watching it happen, and they leave with a keepsake. Anything I don’t finish that night, I complete in my studio and send to you to mail with your thank-you notes.

$1,900 for up to 4 hours.
