ART THAT
looks like art.
MEET THE live WEDDING ARTIST FOR COUPLES WHO WANT
The ones that look like *real art* (not trying to be a photo) of your once-in-a-lifetime experience.
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.
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.
THE BEST WEDDING PAINTINGS ARE THE ONES that actually look good IN YOUR HOME.
somebody has to say it...

Can you Imagine YOUR PAINTING, framed and hung, in your home, looking like it stepped out of Victoria magazine? Looks amazing btw..
Hi, I’m Courtney Kibby,
Choosing the right wedding painter is about so much more than just how well they paint your wedding; it's about turning the feeling of your wedding day into a piece that you’ll actually want to look at everyday – for the rest of your life.
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.
and making art that looks like art is my jam.

Emma
Apprentice Artist, offers grand scale art and portraits. When she’s not keeping the brushes moving, she’s in the kitchen testing new recipes—because great art (and great food) is all about the details.
Courtney created a very special heirloom piece for me.
Her soul shines through her paintbrush, and I am in awe.
- STEPHANIE MARION, EMME EVENTS
"I can’t speak highly enough of Courtney and our entire experience together. Our guests loved it and my husband and I loved it. Her artwork is truly incredible and Courtney is so personable and such a delight to work with.
I would recommend her to EVERYONE!!"
- MOLLY WADLEY, BRIDE
MY PHILOSOPHY
The goal here is very simple: to help you remember your wedding day with a piece you'll love looking at
everyday for the rest of your life.

Your painting should tell a story, your love story.
I hear a lot "I just feel right back there on my wedding day!" and that's how it should be.

"Courtney, this looks and feels LIKE A MONET."
Is this maybe my favorite compliment ever? Yes, yes it is.
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.
