Different, fun and something to treasure !

Such a brilliant idea! Loved adding a few brushstrokes to the portrait of my friends the bride and groom. Watching the picture come to life bit by bit was amazing, and the final result was vibrant and celebrated the guests participation!

Thank you xx

Personal and Creative way to be part of something special on their big day!

I absolutely loved being part of painting for Kash & Kerry, the bride and groom’s portrait! The support guides helped me to paint in what colour and where. Felt really special to contribute. The finished piece still resembled my friends.

Beautiful touch

My 6 year old daughter Mariam painted the faces of my brother and sister in law - her aunty and uncle!

'It was fun and mum said I did good. I liked painting with the bright colours'

Absolutely beautiful and added a personal touch, it was so fun for the guests to get involved, 100% recommend.

Fantastic Addition to our Special day

We chose the Silver Package with Artfulantics for our wedding and couldn’t have been happier with the experience. Kerry was incredible from start to finish. Professional, creative, and helped us make the right choice for our guest experience.

The live painting added such a personal and artistic touch to our day, and our guests had fun painting the two of us. The finished piece captured the day perfectly. A wonderful keepsake that we’ll treasure forever.
We did ask Kerry to add a few ‘touch ups’ to the painting after the event. We now have it on our wall as a reminder of our wedding day.
We wouldhighly recommend Artfulantics to any couple looking for something unique and memorable for their wedding.

About Me

Hi, I’m Kerry! With 24 years of experience teaching Art & Design, I’ve spent my career helping people of all ages from children to adults explore their creativity and bring their ideas to life. Over the years, I’ve also run fun, interactive sessions like Paint & Sip and Nocturnal Glow experiences, blending art, laughter, and a little sparkle.

I’m known for being vibrant, and approachable. I love listening to couples’ ideas and understanding exactly what will make their day special. Whether it’s guiding guests through a Wedding Portrait Experience, creating personalised Heart Collages, or designing bespoke decoupage bottles, my goal is always the same: to make your wedding personal, playful, and unforgettable.

I believe every couple deserves keepsakes and experiences as unique as their story, and I’m here to help make that happen with creativity, colour, and fun for young and old alike!
