Painted Dom Bottle For Corporate Gifting To Toronto Wedding

This is definitely one of the most complicated painting things to date involving two architectural venues for a Toronto wedding. A repeat corporate client asked what I could do to paint on a bottle of Dom. The wedding would take place at two different venues on the wedding weekend, Casa Loma and Aga Khan museum. I suggested I could paint Casa Loma on the front because it’s such a majestic castle in the heart of Toronto. On the back would be the other venue, Aga Khan museum with it’s expansive park grounds. Both venues are so different to give a contrast of Old World to modern age.

End result, the client loved it and was soon on it’s way to Toronto.

Engraving With Bottle Painting Event For Calgary Chinook MAC Cosmetics

With the start of a new school year, lots of people start looking at new clothing and cosmetics to try different looks in a new season. This time I was able to offer both engraving and bottle painting to clients on cosmetic beauty items. A lot of the purchased items were for gifts, so I kept to floral motifs since florals are always classic and timeless.

Pet Illustration With Watercolor At Calgary Beltline District

This was an event close to my heart because it involved dogs. It was Sleep Rover’s fundraising luau event to help High River’s rescue animals, and the event was held in the heart of the Beltline District.

The VID (Very Important Dogs) packages were offered in advance, and was sold out closer to the event date. Each dog had a schedule time where I could grab a quick snap of them, sketch and they would come back to pick it up. They also got a personalized engraved woodblock stand with the pup’s name to display the sketch! The woodblock was done in advance before the event so I could solely focus on sketching the VIDs. It was a busy event, and I got to meet so many wonderful pups. The best part is always when the owner picks up their illustrations and is over the moon with it.

Customizing ALO Shoes With Hand Painting At Calgary Chinook

Looking to add a unique touch to your footwear collection? Monogram painting on shoes might just be the trend you've been waiting for! Whether you're a sneaker enthusiast or a lover of classic loafers, this personalized art form is sure to turn heads and make a statement.

This is what ALO wanted to achieve. Giving clients the experience of creating their own statement shoes. It's more than just decoration—it's a reflection of your personality and style. Monogram painting allows you to transform ordinary shoes into wearable and distinctive art pieces.

One of the best things about monogram painting on shoes is its versatility. From sleek leather boots to canvas sneakers, almost any type of shoe can be customized with a monogram. You can choose bold, contrasting colors for a striking effect or opt for subtle shades that complement your everyday wardrobe.

It's a small detail that can make a big impact, turning ordinary footwear into something special and customized.

Calgary Corporate Gifting Personalized Experience Champagne

When a corporate client reaches out asking if you can hand-paint 25 champagne bottles for a client appreciation event, my immediate thought was “Awesome! Each bottle will be so unique. The clients will love it because it’s one of a kind and hand-created.”

The dinner event was a French Riviera theme with juicy citruses playing a key role set in the rich vineyard region. Each bottle had either lemons or oranges painted on it with wispy clouds and a miniature vineyard field underneath.

Bridal Party | Bottle Painting

This was a memorable private event where I painted on Jo Malone London candles for C&G’s guests. I did a bit of prep work deciding on the three painted designs: cherry blossom, peony and rose.

When the guests arrive, they would pick up the box with their name calligraphed on it, and choose one of the three flower types. I would paint away while the guests enjoyed cocktail hour followed by a delicious three course dinner. At the end of the night, the guests would find their personalized candles back in their boxes and ready to take home.

The guests loved seeing the candles painted and lots of happy comments of how pleased they were. This kind of personalization truly makes an intimate event memorable because they’ll always remember receiving a one of a kind item from the couple to thank them for their support.

Official photos from the event photographer will be posted when available.

Alo | Live Painting Edmonton

Celebrating Alo’s upcoming anniversary, Alo stores hosted custom monogram lettering on their active wear shoes. I had the honour of travelling to Edmonton’s Southgate Centre to hand-paint on their shoes in the client’s choice of colors.  Some opted to have just one shoe lettered, whereas others wanted both shoes with alternating colors to contrast each other.
