THE Artist for couples who want
ARt that looks like art
Wall space is precious real estate, and unlike a photo that might get tucked away in an album or replaced over time, a live painting becomes a cherished part of your home, a conversation starter, a piece of your story that you can proudly display for years to come. It's not just decor—it's a reminder of the love and joy that filled your wedding day.
Like an in-person Monet, you'll get to see real art come to life alongside your guests. It's an experience that will live rent free in their minds forever.
You're looking for a way to make your wedding unforgettable, so you need a painting that you're going to ACTUALLY WANT to look at everyday. If it doesn't look like real art, you don't want it.
ART YOU WANT TO LOOK AT EVERYDAY.
I believe your wedding painting should feel like your favorite memories—and the best wedding paintings are the ones that *actually look good* in your home. The ones that look like *real art* of your once in a lifetime experience.
Making art that looks like art is my jam.
Using my signature watercolor technique and an impressionist, Monet-adjacent style (focusing on feeling, light, color, and shapes rather than exact renderings), I specialize in helping you choose the perfect moment to paint, transforming your wedding day into a work of art.
My favorite part of live painting?
THE LOOK ON YOUR FACE WHEN YOU SEE YOUR LOVE STORY AS FINE ART.
the bright colors, the whimsy, our personalities, and even the tiniest details I never would have thought to ask for. I went into the process not realizing how much the invitations and day-of paper details would set the tone for our wedding, but Courtney completely changed my perspective.
- MOLLIE RILEY-RAPP, BRIDE
"Somehow, without ever meeting me in person, she captured us so perfectly—
Courtney Kibby has her process down to a T. Our wedding guests walked away at the end of the night absolutely delighted––each with their own special memento to cherish just for them––and for us as the couple too! One of my favorite keepsakes from our wedding day is the coffee table book we received of all of the portraits she painted of our guests and more. Courtney is easy to work with and always goes above and beyond to cater to each of her clients. We are so happy we hired her."
- PAIGE KEELY, BRIDE
"You will not regret having Courtney as your live artist on your special day.
" I can’t a describe how much she did to make me feel special and to bring my visions to life. She is the best money we spent for our wedding."

"Courtney was the best thing we did for our wedding.
"Courtney, this looks and feels LIKE A MONET."
Humblebrag: I'm really good at what I do. I've been painting since I was a kid, and now my kids join me, probably while Rick-Rolling me with Disney tunes.
I turn my love for movement and storytelling into impressionist-style heirloom paintings that blend tradition with my distinct timeless style.
YOUR PAINTING WILL LOOK MORE LIKE ART, NOT A REPLICA OF A PICTURE.

After being an early morning riser to get work done, I'll be over here rick-rolling Disney tunes while teaching my kids about the Boston Tea Party, the Commutative Property of Multiplication, and the eight parts of speech (and more, let's be honest, it's classical education, after all).

WHEN I'M NOT PAINTING, HERE'S HOW I'M
01
My whole heart is to have my people (clients, friends, family) feel seen and loved. I love voice messages because it shares tone, something text messages obviously lack. I also love slow days with my kids, hence the longer voice messages (with everyone) and flower picking and hand holding (with my children!).

Watercolor feels like a memory, and a good book feels like stepping into another world. I love starting a new series (I read 63 books in 2025), and 10 points to Gryffindor if they're fantasy or fantasy romance. Also, I recommend The Unselected Letters of Emma M. Lion to everyone I meet because the writing is amazing and she, too, loves the oxford comma.
