August 10, 2026Highly Recommend for Any Event!
We had Gatika do both the live wedding painting and guest illustrations at our wedding, and we loved it! Our guests had so much fun watching her paint and getting their portraits done. The painting turned out beautiful, and the illustrations were such a fun keepsake. She was so sweet and easy to work with. We’re really glad we booked her! ❤️

What to expect
When you hire Gatika Event Painter, you’re not just booking an artist—you’re adding a unique, interactive experience to your event! 🎨
Live Wedding & Event Painting
I set up my easel at your venue and create a one-of-a-kind painting while your event is happening. Guests can watch the artwork come together, ask questions, and enjoy seeing the moment captured on canvas. You’ll receive an original painting that becomes a special keepsake from your event.
Live Guest Illustrations
I also offer live watercolor guest portraits, perfect for weddings, parties, corporate events, celebrations, and more. Guests sit for a quick portrait while I create a personalized hand-painted illustration for them to take home.
I arrive early to set up my supplies and create a professional, welcoming setup. Throughout the event, I work at a comfortable pace while interacting with guests and keeping the experience fun and engaging.
If all guest portraits cannot be completed during the event, I can finish the remaining illustrations in my studio and arrange for them to be shipped to the guests.
Whether you’re looking for a beautiful piece of artwork, a fun activity for your guests, or a memorable favor they can take home, I’ll bring creativity and live art directly to your event.
I’m based in Michigan and available to travel for events.

Influences and inspiration
My biggest influences are artists who capture emotion, movement, and atmosphere rather than focusing only on perfect details. I’m inspired by impressionist painters and contemporary live event artists who make painting feel personal, expressive, and alive.
