Wedding Day Painter | Olga
📍 Melbourne
- Live wedding painting
- Acrylic
- Impressionist style
- Studio-finished
My style can be described as Contemporary Impressionism. The paintings feel dynamic, vibrant and alive. The detail is balanced so that you can recognise your face and still have the painting feel loose & fresh, and more than a photo.

Why Choose a Live Wedding Painter in Canberra?
Lakes, Gardens and Wineries
Canberra couples marry by Lake Burley Griffin, at the National Arboretum, in Canberra District wineries around Murrumbateman and Hall, and at country homesteads across the region.
Autumn Leaves and Spring Blooms
Autumn colour and spring's Floriade season make beautiful backdrops. Summers are hot and dry and winters are frosty, so cooler-month weddings are best planned with an indoor reception.
Plan for Chilly Evenings
Evenings can turn cold quickly, even in spring and autumn. Give your painter an indoor or sheltered spot with good lighting, and if you book a Sydney-based artist, allow for the three-hour drive.
Art in the Capital
Home to the National Gallery of Australia and the National Portrait Gallery, Canberra suits art-loving couples. A live painting or guest portraits add a creative, personal touch to any celebration.
