Memories are built in your mind’s eye.
What you were wearing, an expression, and the people surrounding you are all of the details that create the moments to remember. Undeniably, one of the most memorable moments of your life will be your wedding. Photos and keepsakes immortalize these memories for generations. But what if you could have a work of art that created a portal back to that magical day?

Enter Gail Fitzpatrick.
lifetime...
With a sweep of the brush, she transports you to a moment in time that would be hard to capture in any other medium. You can almost hear the laughter, the music, and the clinking of the glasses as she writes your story on her canvas. By “life sketching,” Gail organizes many small moments into one scene and creates a painting that delivers so much life and movement that it feels real.
Gail understands the significance of small moments. It was, in fact, a seemingly insignificant moment that brought her to the calling of live event painting. She remembers one hot afternoon when she decided to “play hooky” by shuffling through ads on Craigslist. It was there that she found an ad for an experienced artist to create a one-of-a-kind work of art for a wedding. After meeting with the bride and hearing her vision, Gail was inspired. She was hired and hasn’t looked back since. Her inspiration continues to thrive in the spontaneity of each event.

The process is time intensive and the attention to detail shows in the final product. Gail will sometimes spend four hours prepping, which entails scouting the location and beginning the background of the painting. Then she spends four to five hours at the reception creating the masterpiece, and even more time back in the studio applying finishing touches. As with any good artist, the process should not be rushed, and patience pays off. As she will tell you, “Your live event deserves its own work of art,” and you won’t be disappointed.
