Meet Lois
I've been painting portraits for over 40 years, after studying at the American Academy of Art in Chicago. You can see my mural and portrait work here.
My passion is capturing people and moments—those fleeting, emotional connections you want to remember forever.
As a live wedding painter, I don’t just create art; I help tell the story of your special day and the connection you share together. There’s something magical about watching a painting come to life right before your eyes, and I love sharing that experience with you and your guests. Your portrait should reflect your relationship in a honest way, capturing what makes your love and your wedding day truly one of a kind.
My goal is to turn your wedding memories into a timeless work of art—one that will be cherished for generations to come.
Painting Style
Up-close & intimate
My style is bold, genuine, and deeply personal. I focus on capturing the raw emotion and authentic connection between you and your partner, creating a painting that truly feels like you.
By framing my portraits up close and intimate, I draw attention to the expressions and emotions that define your wedding day—the way your eyes meet, a soft smile, a tender touch. You are the focus of the painting, and every detail is centered around your unique bond.
Emotion comes first
This up-close approach isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s about capturing your story. When you look at your painting years from now, I want you to feel transported back to that exact moment—to relive the joy, the excitement, and the overwhelming sense of connection you shared. I aim to capture not just a likeness, but the essence of your love story, creating a piece of art that’s uniquely yours.
Bold color
My use of vibrant, expressive color reflects the energy and emotion of your celebration, and captures your love in a way that’s as vivid and unforgettable as the day itself.
The result is a bold and authentic work of art that doesn’t just capture how you looked—it captures how you felt.
Your wedding day is the beginning of a beautiful story. Let me create a piece of art that tells that story in a way that’s timeless, genuine, and uniquely yours.
