LIVE PAINTING AT EVENTS

When I paint live at an event, I bring my studio practice into a shared space. The painting develops over the course of the event, allowing guests to follow the process as it unfolds — from the first marks on the canvas to the finished composition.

Each live painting becomes a record of the occasion, shaped by its time and place. It can serve as both a focal point during the event and a lasting artwork afterwards, a visual reflection of a shared experience.

Examples of events where I have painted live are concerts, weddings, birthdays and fairs. The painting is tailor-made for the occasion.
