“If there were more stars to give, I would. 5 stars can’t even begin to describe to level of talent Patrick has for capturing the moment. Once I decided on the picture from our wedding day Patrick completed my request on time and on budget. Seeing the final product was breathtaking. I couldn’t wait to surprise my wife with what he’d created. Thanks Patrick for being willing to lend us your talents.”

Patrick does such a great job. He is extremely talented and pours his heart into his work and it shows. He captured every detail I wanted him to and more. The final product is so alive. He took my ideas, ran with them, and made it better than I could have ever imagined. Like others have said in their reviews, we get so many compliments on the beautiful work of art that he created. It is polished yet rustic; subtle and significant. It fits perfectly in our home. Thank you Patrick for delivering for our family!

“On a whim we discovered that doing a live painting was possible for our wedding. Although we were unsure of how we felt price wise, it was 100% worth it in the end. Patrick and his wife were an absolute joy to have at our wedding. If we had any other similar type of event we would certainly invite them again. Once we got our final piece delivered to our home, it just made it feel even more valuable. Really thankful that we have this relationship now definitely try them out!”
