Chaos Canvas Live - Wedding Edition

Interactive live painting for weddings in the DMV that guests help create, and couples keep forever.

Your Love Story, Captured in Cheerful Chaos

I paint a live, interactive artwork during your reception. Guests offer ideas; I add them in real time. The result? A one‑of‑a‑kind keepsake that feels like your people and your day.

What Is a Chaos Canvas?

Chaos Canvas is a live, interactive painting experience. As I paint during your reception, guests suggest playful details such as inside jokes, meaningful symbols, tiny moments you never want to forget. I weave those ideas into a cohesive artwork on the spot, then add professional finishing touches in the studio.

Perfect for: cocktail hour entertainment, reception wow‑moment, or a guestbook alternative.

Why Couples & Planners Love It

  • Entertainment + Heirloom: Your guests are engaged, and you get a conversation starting piece of artwork you’ll actually hang.
  • Personal: No two Chaos Canvases are the same. The art reflects your crowd and story.
  • Turnkey: I bring all materials, manage the interactive flow, and deliver a sealed, ready‑to‑hang piece.
  • Sized for real homes: Options from 8×10 up to 16×20 or panoramic 12×36.

How It Works

  1. Inquire & Hold Date: Share your venue, date, guest count, and vibe. I confirm availability and provide a proposal.
  2. Design Chat: We discuss must‑have elements, meaningful symbols, and your comfort level with guest prompts.
  3. Live Painting at Reception: I set up during cocktail hour/reception; guests suggest details while I paint.
  4. Studio Finish: I refine, seal, and prep for delivery. Local delivery/pickup arranged; shipping available.

Typical timeline: Final artwork ready 2–6 weeks after your wedding (rush may be available). Please note: The Heirloom Wedding Portrait add on may require a longer timeframe.

FAQs

How long do you paint on the day?

Depends on package chosen. Typically 3–5 hours during the reception.

What if my guests are shy?

No problem! I come prepped with prompts and can work from your must‑have ideas. It’s delightful either way.

Can you include specific elements (pets, florals, inside jokes)?

Yes — that’s the fun. I’ll prioritize your list and weave in guest suggestions as time allows.

What happens after the event?

I add professional refinements in the studio, seal the piece, and arrange delivery. Typical turnaround is 2–6 weeks(rush available).

Do you travel?

Yes. Travel fee applies beyond 30 miles from Alexandria, VA. Destination quotes available.

Are you a traditional live wedding portrait painter?

Chaos Canvas is different: it’s interactive and story‑driven. If you’d like a classic portrait too, add the Heirloom Wedding Portrait after the wedding using one of your photos.
