Best Of Cleveland: Live Event Painter

You’ve spent a fortune and countless hours making sure your big day is a masterpiece. Jacqueline DelBrocco Purdy — one of only a handful of live event painters in the country — wants to help capture all the details, feelings and emotions of your wedding day with a masterpiece of her own. During your reception, you and your guests can gather round as she transforms a blank canvas into an impressionistic snapshot of your affair with acrylic paints in a Renoir-esque style. She then works with your wedding photographer to create the finished product ($2,000-$5,000) that places an artistic version of you and your besotted right in the center of your family and friends. “Weddings are such a blur of love, magic and positive energy,” says DelBrocco Purdy. “My goal is to capture all of those special tingles in a work that the couple can pass down for generations.” clevelandeventpainter.com
