Hey everyone! I am really missing painting weddings and painting in general. In the year I took off for surgery so many other watercolor guest portrait artists have come out in Michigan. It’s getting harder to book weddings but I don’t want to stop. What would everyone like to see more of? Me selling art auction style? Different wedding packages? Pet portraits? I need input, because I am not ready to let go of my passion 💜

A keepsake made just for your guests…
�Thank the people who celebrate you with something personal. I’m Melissa and I paint live watercolor guest portraits at Michigan weddings, creating meaningful keepsakes your guests take home the same night — a detail they’ll remember long after the day is over.

Just a few things my clients have had to say!

💜You were a hit, you created beautiful bespoke work!

💜Her work is amazing the guests were impressed!

💜 We are all so obsessed with the paintings!

Currently booking in Michigan for the 2026-2027 wedding seasons. Please message me for more information!

Finally starting to paint again after surgery! This was something I designed as a tattoo a long time ago. Recreated it to be a painting! I’m really happy with how it turned out!

It’s that time of year where weddings slow down and presents are needed! I’m currently offering up commission slots for 5x7 watercolor animal or people portraits! I am charging a flat rate of $25 each this year! Please DM if you are interested! Thank you for always supporting me!

I will also open up two slots for a larger family or animal portrait. Those are 11x14 and will be $150!

Despite having a back completely out, we painted a beautiful event last night in Grand Rapids. Leona Rd is an amazing venue with great staff, one of my favorite places to paint. Here are a few paintings from the night!
