True love lasts a lifetime, your wedding portrait will last for generations.
Your love took time and care to create, why shouldn’t the work that captures it?

What makes a painting?
A good painting looks like the thing it’s supposed to look like, but a great painting captures a memory. Using time tested compositional techniques, such as harmonic armatures, dynamic perspective, and color theory, I am able to create a painting that not only resembles the moment visually, but draws the viewer in on a deeper psychological level.
Leonardo da Vinci didn’t sit down one afternoon and paint the Mona Lisa in one sitting. He did a number of studies, figured out what he wanted to say, and approached the piece with a lifetime of observational knowledge and hard earned technical skill, and while my work may not be hanging in the Louvre, I promise to approach your portrait with the same care and consideration as the old masters.
Color theory, compositional psychology, anatomical knowledge, and a strong command of the medium are all crucial components to the execution of a quality work of art. These are all skills that I have spent a lifetime honing both in and out of an academic setting, and are what I bring to your big day.
Skipped your art history survey in college and have no idea what kind of painting you want? No problem! I come with a lifetime of artistic knowledge, a wealth of pop culture references, and a massive Pinterest board full of inspiration to help you visualize exactly what it is that you want your painting to look like.
Meet the Artist
Hi! I’m Olivia Mae and I am a fine art painter based out of Bozeman, Montana.
I came to wedding painting when I noticed a significant stylistic gap in the market for high quality, carefully crafted, traditional oil paintings, that really captured the uniqueness of each couples love story.
I hold a BFA in painting, a professional certification in interior architecture (no wonky perspective here!), have shown work in galleries from Boston to Los Angeles, and am a life long devotee to the pursuit of artistic beauty. Most importantly though, I love weddings! There is so much that goes into making your big day as special as it can be, and you deserve a piece that immortalizes that magical feeling, one that you can enjoy every day for the rest of your lives!
