How It Works
We Plan the Details:
Tell us your event date, venue and vision. We'll confirm everything during our consultation which can be held virtually or in-person.
Art Created Live at Your Event
If you're getting an illustration, guests come near my station to get their picture taken.
If you're getting a live painting, it is created throughout the event and guests watch it unfold. The process becomes interactive and draws guests in.
If you're getting a product painting, it is painted right in front of your guests.
Personalized Artwork to Keep
Illustrated guests and products receive their customs paintings to take home. A live painting becomes a meaningful heirloom capturing the spirit of the event, it requires shipping and studios time for touch ups.
The Experience
Beyond the artwork itself, the live art station adds elegance, creativity and a unique focal point your guests will remember long after the event.
Your Artist
My name is Leequette "Lala" Santiago and I am your artist for your special occasion. I have been bringing people together with art since 2016. Even as a child, I'd create mini "masterpieces" all over my parents home. Back then, it wasn't as appreciated. Today, I stand as a multi-award winning artist and founder of Santiago Studios. Creating is my passion and after years of dedication, I am happy to offer unique services that are a lively add on to any event. When you're ready, send me a message and let's bring your vision to life.
Your truly,
Lala
