Hello, Welcome!

I'm Erin Leigh - a professional artist, live wedding painter, educator and entrepreneur living in Massachusetts. 

While my journey into Live Wedding Painting only began in 2022, my journey in art started shortly after I was born. Being surrounded by artists and creatives, I was never short of supplies to create whatever my heart desired. All the way through school, I would doodle on anything I had in front of me. More formal painting came in middle school when I visited with Grandma and Auntie, then with high school art classes, and of course when I attended college.  After receiving my Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the University of Connecticut, I learned even more technical artistic skills while working for architects and interior designers. 

In 1999 I left the work force to start a family. Shortly after my kids were born, I realized I was sliding into depression, and knew I needed an outlet for the creativity that was stuck inside me. I quickly started my first art business ErinLeigh.com to sell my art and give art lessons to children out of my home, all while my babies were under foot.  I have been fortunate to have my work collected by both public and private collectors in the United States, Mexico, Canada, England and Dubai.

Fast forward to 2013 and no space in our new home to give art lessons, I decided to start my second art business Paint Sip Fun, a traveling art company. Now I could give fun art lessons and art parties to kids and adults at local venues and private homes. I am so blessed that this paint and sip business has been so successful, it has already helped thousands upon thousands of people get back in touch with their creative side, and has helped to raise over $130,000 for charities too! 

It is through this business, that I was introduced to Live Wedding Painting. At one of our private bridal showers, the bride asked me if I could paint at her wedding. I thought this could be fun, I already love painting around groups of people! So I sat down with her to go over every detail she desired. Turns out I LOVE PAINTING LIVE WEDDING PAINTINGS !!!!!!! There is NO DOUBT, I was in my element! Not only do I enjoy painting in public and mingling with guests, but I like answering questions, being part of such a special day and of course dancing- while I paint. But I think what I love the most, is to watch the bride and groom's reaction as they look upon their painting. That heart felt honest look of sheer happiness and gratitude. 

I would be honored to be part of your special day, and to make a keepsake for you that will be treasured for a life time!  

I look forward to connecting with you!

Cheers!
