I cannot say enough good things about Chanelle. When I was planning my wedding, one of my top non-negotiables was having a live painter. As luck would have it, I couldn’t find ANYBODY. I mentioned it in passing to a practical stranger who went on to recommend Chanelle. I kiss the high heavens for that random interaction that led me to her! Chanelle’s work is amazing, her attention to detail is superb. All of my guests were absolutely blown away watching her finish up the painting. They came up to me all night to commend her and her work and what an amazing surprise to include. Most of my guests have never seen a live painter at a wedding before! I love our painting, she captured the joy and happiness we shared looking at each other in a way a picture could not have. Her amazing piece of art will live in my home and shine on my best walls for the rest of my life. Thank you, Chanelle

Our guests can’t stop talking about the water color guest portraits Chanelle did at my daughter’s wedding. Simply amazing & such a fun addition to the day. Chanelle’s creativity, artistry and attention to detail is unmatched as is her communication both pre & post wedding. She completed the balance of the portraits the next day & promptly mailed to us. Our experience with Chanelle was A+++ all around and my mind is racing when, where, how we can have her at another event!
