Pricipal artist Jamie Peterson brings decades of portrait and illustration work to the table. With our team of artists, we will treat your full guest list to an unforgettable artistic experience and produce a truly one-of-a-kind favor that they will likely frame and reflect on for years to come! We have painted portraits in the thousands at weddings, corporate events, and benefits throughout Columbia, Charleston, South Carolina, and up and down the East Coast. No event is too big or small. We have a unique system for elegantly greeting your guests, capturing their image and tracking who is who for a smooth, delightful delivery. Contact us today with your event date and location to check availability and receive a complimentary, custom proposal.

The event world is trending toward unique and memorable guest experiences. Invite the United in Paint team to your next event and secure the memory of your day in your guests’ minds and hearts.
