  • "It was so nice to have Ama be a part of our wedding painting live guest portraits! It was the perfect guest favour and everyone loved that they got to take home something so unique. Also great that we could keep scanned copies of all the paintings so we can look back on them as well."

  • "We had the absolute pleasure of working with Ama for our wedding on June 7th in Niagara-on-the-Lake, and we truly cannot say enough good things about her! From the very beginning, Ama was a dream to work with! Incredibly professional, responsive, and warm. Her communication throughout the planning process gave us total peace of mind, and on the day of the wedding, she brought a calm, joyful energy that made everything feel extra special.

    Her live painting was nothing short of stunning; she captured the essence of our day with such talent and heart. Our guests were completely enchanted watching her work throughout the evening. It became a highlight of the entire event, and people are still talking about it weeks later!

    Ama’s art is not only a beautiful keepsake of our day, but her presence made our wedding experience even more memorable. If you're thinking about hiring a live artist, do not hesitate - Ama is everything you could hope for and more. We are beyond grateful."
