Hi, I’m Jess
I paint the way your memories feel.

I’ve been sketching since childhood, and art has always been my way of slowing down time. After working in creative design and celebrating my own wedding, I realized how much live painting could add to an event: beauty, joy, and a one-of-a-kind keepsake.
Today, I bring that same care and artistry to weddings, private events, and creative classes across Maryland and beyond.
What to Expect When We Work Together
-
We begin with a free consultation where I learn your vision.
-
Every painting is tailored — from colors to composition.
-
I arrive early, prepared with high-quality materials.
-
After your event, I refine details and deliver a keepsake you’ll treasure forever.
