Meet your wedding painter

My work as a live event painter encapsulates all that I love about being an artist. Through examining interactions between people, I see real beauty and happiness. For me it’s about telling your life story, sharing in the most memorable events of your life and capturing all the emotions, atmosphere and memories on canvas.

-Jamie Peterson

Oh, you wanted to learn more about me…

I was born and raised in Minnesota and after having traveled and worked across the globe, I’ve melted into Southern living in South Carolina. I have been drawing and painting since childhood, have studied here and there, and I feel incredibly lucky to consider myself a working artist and business owner. You are most likely to find oil paint on my palette, but I have also learned to love watercolors and ink. I love to make things pretty and I’m not afraid to say it. Connecting with people over their stories, pets and struggles is my superpower. I would love to be the witness to your carefully planned celebration.

A couple more fun facts…I have been a working portraitist for 20 years, have my work in both public and private collections, and am a published illustrator…I brag to assure you that while I take my work very seriously, I have remained a painter all of these years because of the joy it brings me to serve others with my work.
