    PRIVATE + CORPORATE EVENTS

Creating a memorable and fresh experience at your event can always be a challenge. A live event painting is one opportunity to give a new experience for your event attendees. Watching Hanna create unique art is entertaining and engaging for guests and enhances your event. The final artwork is yours for gifting opportunities or displaying in your corporate office.

CONCERTS

Add active visuals to your live music performance by incorporating Hanna on stage. As she paints along with the music, the audience will get a one-of-a-kind experience. The final work can be auctioned, raffled, or purchased by an audience member.

WEDDINGS

Whether you are the couple looking to enhance your reception or a guest looking for a unique gift for the couple, a live wedding painting is a one-of-a-kind, memorable experience. Hanna will paint a unique piece of art that will be a lasting keepsake to remember their special day. During consultation, Hanna will discuss items to integrate into the painting like quotes, dates, or vows that will make it a unique piece for the couple.

HAPPY HOURS

Is your typical happy hour a few hours long? Keep patrons in their seats by giving them a chance to win a painting that they saw come to life. Hanna can paint during the duration of your happy hour, offering raffle tickets to win the piece. Patrons must be present to be eligible, so they often hang out until the end of your designated happy hour.

FUNDRAISERS + CHARITIES

Hanna loves to help give back to the community that supports her. She provides opportunities for charities to partner in a program to help raise funds at charity galas and fundraising events. Through your event, Hanna will create a painting that will be available for auction or gifting as you see fit.

HOW IT WORKS

Consultation - Before your event, Hanna will consult with you to discuss the event and your overall vision. Here you will review Hanna's work for inspiration on your piece and discuss any potential integrations to make it a unique keepsake.

Setup - Hanna will coordinate the appropriate time with you before your event for set up. Setup takes approximately 30 minutes, and Hanna brings all supplies needed.

Live Painting - At the agreed upon time in your event, Hanna will begin the painting process. Guests will have the opportunity to watch and engage with her as she illuminates the canvas with a variety of colors and gestures. A standard painting for a live event takes approximately 1.5 to 4 hours to complete.

Complete Work - By the end of your event, the finished painting will be available for final viewing, gifting, or the auction. Hanna will coordinate with you on options to take home the day of the event or potential future pickup or delivery.

LIVE PAINTING FAQ

What is live painting and why do I want it at my event? ​

Live painting is an improvisational performance in which a visual artist creates a painting in front of a live audience during the duration of an event.  A live painting performance artist creates the artwork from start to finish as a method of entertainment. Unlike purchasing a piece created in the artist's studio, a live painting session includes the whole performance from start to finish. It is a way to engage your guests and create fantastic memories.

Why choose you to perform at my event?

​I am a long-time artist and love to show the creative process. I engage the audience, welcoming questions and comments, and help create a fun and creative environment at your event. For fundraisers, I help promote your cause with advertisement and conversation about your purpose. At concerts, I  paint with the music, encouraging your audience to really get involved in the moment and the movement. I am very personable and quick to make your guests feel comfortable at your event, and help create a more involved environment for everyone. If you choose to have a guest win the finished piece, this creates even more incentive for guests to stay and enjoy the whole event.

Is it OK to talk to you while you paint?

I always welcome onlookers, conversation, and questions. I am accustomed to answering questions during my sessions, if the situation permits. Certain circumstances, such as being up on stage away from the crowd, obviously do not make for a conversational performance. I am there to entertain, to have fun, and to engage when I am able. However, please be respectful of the situation. If I seem very involved in the piece and am not able to pause, please be patient. I will answer questions once I have a moment to step away from my work. If I need to return to the work while we’re talking, please take no offense. I’m simply trying to keep the momentum going and to finish the piece in my allotted time

Do I need to provide anything for you at my event?

A minimum space of 6'x6' and a nearby outlet are typically the only requirements. I provide all basic live painting related materials including an easel, canvas, drop cloths, lights, and a tote for my materials. Any other accommodations can be discussed during your consultation.

Does the paint smell, and will we need to clean up anything?

No. I use low-odor acrylic paints and inks, and provide my own drop cloths to protect your surfaces from any spills. In the event that a spill does occur, I act quickly to ensure that any mess is cleaned up. Please contact me if you have specific concerns about your space, and I can adjust my preparation accordingly.
​

What happens with the finished piece?

Before your event, we will decide whether the finished piece is intended to be auctioned off, won by an event attendee, donated, sold, kept by the host, or goes home with the artist. In most cases, the piece is finished and ready to hang the same day as the event, which makes handing it off to the owner quite simpl

What happens at fundraisers?

You can choose to auction off the piece at your fundraiser through a silent auction or raffle. If you'd like to auction or raffle the piece, please let me know so I can come equipped with the appropriate materials. This is a great way to gain more income for your cause!

What will it cost?

Contact me to discuss your event. Price range varies, but I am always accommodating to various budgets. Please see the shop to get an idea of what a painting may cost, depending on size. Prices start from about $350, depending on painting time, canvas size, and travel.

I want you to paint at my wedding. Do you paint the couple or the guests?

I stay true to my abstract style. I leave the realistic representations to the photographers, and I get the privilege of capturing the liveliness, excitement, and mood. Since images of the attendees and event will be captured through photographs, the painting I provide would be a separate way to capture the fun and emotion that comes out during the event. Please see my galleries below for examples.
