Event Painter

Joe Rice

Capture the Energy. Preserve the Moment.

Static photos capture a pose - live painting captures the soul of the room.

The Process:

  • Set-up: I arrive 60–90 minutes early to map out the composition and lighting.

  • The Performance: I paint throughout the event, engaging with guests and capturing the vibe as it unfolds.

  • The Reveal: By the end of the night, a professional work of art is completed (or ready for final studio touches).

I bring my studio to your event—easel, canvas, and paints—to translate the music, the movement, and the atmosphere into a finished masterpiece in real-time. Whether it’s a wedding, a corporate gala, or a concert, your guests get a front-row seat to the creative process, and you get a timeless memory.
