Live Wedding Painter

🎨 Live Wedding Painter 

In a digital age where every moment is captured through high-res photos and video, there’s something surreal about returning to a style of storytelling that predates them all. A live wedding painting brings old-world craft into the heart of a modern celebration—capturing energy, color, and atmosphere in real time.

The artist sets up quietly and becomes part of the evening. While guests sip champagne and move through the night, they get to stop by and watch the painting take shape—layer by layer, moment by moment. It’s a conversation starter, a little bit of magic in the background, and a keepsake you’ll take home at the end of it all.

🎨 Meet the Artist

Eva is a figurative artist whose work captures realistic subjects in magical, almost storybook-like moments. Born in Poland, she immigrated to the U.S. at thirteen, using art as a grounding force in a new world. Her early passion for drawing blossomed into a career, encouraged by recognition in high school that led her to pursue formal training in the arts.

She earned both a Bachelor's in Art and a Master's in Art Education from Northern Illinois University, where she developed foundational skills across multiple media. Although originally on the path to become an art teacher, Eva followed a more exploratory creative journey—spending six years managing storyboards at a commercial art studio, and ten years as a tattoo artist.

Throughout her evolution as an artist, one theme remained constant: her focus on portraiture and the female form. Today, Eva primarily works in oil from her home studio in the Chicago suburbs, creating deeply personal artwork and timeless wedding heirlooms. Her background across charcoal, pastel, watercolor, and oil gives her paintings a uniquely layered, refined feel—anchored in tradition yet emotionally resonant for modern couples.
