What Is an Interactive Live Painting Event?
Interactive Live Painting Event
Interactive live painting events are collaborative canvas experiences designed by Michelle for weddings, corporate events, product launches, anniversaries, and charity fundraisers throughout Richmond, VA and nearby areas like Henrico, Chesterfield, Short Pump, Glen Allen, and Midlothian.
Michelle comes to your venue and creates a work of art alongside your guests. She paints a unique piece and provides all the supplies your guests need to help bring it to life.
Once the event ends, she adds the finishing touches and presents the completed artwork to the host.

Why Live Painting?
Entertain guests while still getting a memorable artwork for your special event: choose an interactive experience where guests help paint, or a solo performance where Michelle brings the vision to life while guests watch.
Customized For you
Choose an interactive experience where guests help paint, or a solo performance where Michelle brings the vision to life while guests watch, and for fundraisers and galas, the finished piece can even be auctioned off as a meaningful way to support your cause.
Perfect For team building
Live painting doubles as a natural team building activity, giving coworkers a shared creative task that gets everyone talking and collaborating outside their usual roles. The finished canvas becomes a lasting piece for the office.
Memoriable Experience For guests
Collaborative Experience
Interactive live painting turns a Richmond event into hands-on entertainment guests actually remember. Instead of watching from the sidelines, guests pick up a brush and become part of the artwork itself. No art experience is needed. Michelle guides guests through their section so everyone can contribute with confidence, regardless of skill level.
It's a natural conversation starter too. Guests bond over the shared canvas, compare their brushstrokes, and check back throughout the event to see how the piece is coming together.
Artwork Worth Remembering
For the host, it's more than entertainment. It's a keepsake that captures the people who were there. Once the event wraps, Michelle goes through the entire piece and refines it, adjusting colors, blending brushstrokes, and blending any awkward transitions into a cohesive, gallery-quality painting. Guests know they had a hand in creating it. The host knows it came together through a true collaborative experience, and walks away with a professional piece of art that will hold up for years to come.
