When I first arrived, I saw that the sweetheart table was the focal point. The couple had put together this quaint setting of a vintage settee at the back of the room with a glass cake dome, lace runner and candles covering the table. It was too pretty not to paint so I sat at my table and started painting the scene before everyone arrived.

Once the guests stepped into the room, I began painting their black & white attire all night! It was so fun to be a part of. This intimate moments with all A + N’s closest family & friends was so special to witness.

The evening was filled with laughter, delicious cupcakes and the most beautiful floral arrangements made by the family. I won’t get over them! They were stunning!

Thank you for having me and I wish A + N the happiest beginning to their newest chapter 🤍

Last night!

The Kim Foundation graciously invited me and five other talented artists to create pieces that spoke to the foundation’s thru-line of su***de prevention and awareness.

My painting explained a story of hope and compassion after hard conversations. The power of simply meeting a friend for coffee can help in more ways that’s we expect; by just listening. When two people are talking there’s actually three people present; you, me and us.

Without focusing on the facial expressions of the intimate moment within the painting it forces us to see the beauty of what’s been brought to the table. Metaphor or coffee, you tell me.

Thank you to the winning bidder of the auction and thank you to the Kim Foundation for putting on an event that I’ll forever cherish! 🤍☕️

Another gorgeous wedding at The Leo Ballroom in Omaha!

This wedding was SO special because I know the bride and groom very well 🤍

Years ago, I took the bride’s senior photos and this weekend I painted her and her husband at their wedding 💍💕

Unforgettable moments captured in paint 🎨

Jaw-dropping views, Italian inspired design, and meticulous floral arrangements for days.

I mean, come on, this was one for the books.

The Magnolia has been showing off its European aesthetic since 1924 and this unforgettable evening just added another important date to its timeline.

Thank you to everyone who made this night happen and thank you J + B for having me!

What a night! 🤩

I’m so grateful to be able to create personalized artwork for guests at weddings. It brings me so much joy. Last night, was the icing on the wedding cake.

Being able to dip my brush into paint at the Joslyn Art Museum was literally a dream come true. I have so much gratitude for Megan & Ryan for allowing me to be a part of their day in such a beautiful way.

Thank you again to all the staff at the museum as well as all of the vendors. It’s a treat to be able work alongside familiar faces as well as meeting new welcoming professionals!

Congratulations, M + R!
