Live Painting Reviews

Working with Heather was a pleasure! We decided to hire a live painter for our wedding last minute and thank goodness she was available. Heather did an incredible job capturing and painting our wedding ceremony as well as my bouquet!! While she was working on the painting during our reception, our guests could not stop saying how impressed they were! 10/10 would recommend Heather to anyone. She did an incredible job! We hung our photo above our bed and look at it every night.

"If you are getting married and considering hiring a visual artist, book Heather. She is an absolute joy to work with and will capture every detail of the moment. We love our art, and it’s safe to say all our guests love it too. Thank you so much for sharing your gift with us on our big day!"
With love, John & Rebecca Smith
"I recently had a friend ask me for “must haves” to have at her wedding and my number one answer was a live painter. And not just any live painter, but preferably Heather. Her talent is absolutely unreal, but it’s her sweet, bubbly, ‘love you like family’ personality that makes her paintings one of a kind. She puts her heart and soul into each painting, making sure to capture every single tiny detail. Whether it’s a wedding gift, or purchased by the bride and groom themselves, it will always be a must have on my list as it will bring back the wonderful memories from your day every time you walk past it."

"Heather has such a gift! Our wedding painting is beyond breath taking. Her attention to detail is amazing; from my dress, to the flowers, to the trees in the background. My husband and I built our home before we got married and we always knew where we would hang the painting before before it was ever done. I highly recommend a bridal painting; a moment in time that will forever hold a piece in your heart."

"Heather’s talent was one of the best, most memorable parts of our wedding day, and one we would do over and over and over again! We still talk about it years later. Guests still talk about it, too. The reveal was one I will never forget - our jaws literally dropped!! It was a truly priceless part of our wedding, and our painting is one that will remain in our family for many many years to come. Heather, you have such an incredible gift, and I am honored your gifts were shared with us on our wedding day!"
Heather Smith is an amazing artist! She did our daughter’s wedding painting…live in November, 2019. It was a cold and blustery, albeit sunny, day in the NC mountains. Heather had no complaints and worked always with a smile on her face. She stayed outside throughout the ceremony and moved into the tent for the remainder of the evening. She was discreet where she placed herself. The guests enjoyed watching the painting come alive during the reception. Once finished, she eagerly presented to the happy couple.. this wasn’t a surprise to them but they were surprised at the accuracy and overall feeling of the painting.. they cherish it so. It has hung prominently in their home ever since. They mad a move and carried it to their temporary home as well(no storage for this precious piece of art!). they also appreciated the finish work(glaze) and the ever sweet personal message from Heather on the back of the canvas.
We had searched a long time to find the right live painter and were so very happy to find Heather. She met all of our expectations and more. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for her services. And to top it off she is genuinely a good person!
