At The Shared Canvas, I believe the most meaningful wedding keepsakes aren't bought - they're made together.

I paint your celebration live. You choose a scene that means something to you - your venue, a favourite landscape, a coastal view, anywhere that holds a special place in your story - and I bring it to life on canvas as your day unfolds around you.

What makes The Shared Canvas truly unique is what happens next. Your guests are invited to add their own brushstroke to the painting - a small, beautiful act that weaves everyone who shared your day into a single piece of art. By the end of the evening, you have something no one else in the world has. A canvas that tells your story, in your colours, with the marks of every person you love.

Every painting is professionally finished, framed and personally delivered to you once it has had the care and time it deserves - because great art shouldn't be rushed.

Working with me is relaxed, personal and completely bespoke. I meet with you before your day to plan every detail, and on the day itself, I fit seamlessly around your schedule so you never have to think about a thing.

Fully insured and based in the UK, I travel to weddings across Cambridgeshire, Suffolk and beyond.

My portfolio includes a mix of acrylic canvas work and watercolour examples on paper - all live wedding commissions are painted on stretched canvas.

Artwork not wedding related

I commissioned Cera to produce a trio of small paintings for me of Rabbits which would hang in my en-suite, ultimately complimenting a wooden Rabbit statue already in-situ. I had previously purchased the frames and so the size of the paintings was determined by these. I gave Cera the frames and asked her to size the paintings to fit. She was more than happy to do this and after discussing what I liked, I had full faith in what she would produce. I had already seen some of Cera’s other work and was very impressed with all that I saw.
A couple of weeks later she delivered the finished paintings and I was really happy with the result. The images fitted perfectly into the frames and the attention to detail was second to none. She brought the paintings to life. Cera’s work is outstanding and I would be more than happy to commission her time again.
I know this is not a wedding related review, but Cera takes pride in all the work she undertakes and so I’m confident in knowing Cera will produce an amazing painting for any bride and groom to cherish forever.

A £5 mirror into a luxurious one of a kind!

I cannot recommend The Shared Canvas enough. I am a very particular person and I am always looking for one of a kind pieces to transform my home with bright, vibrant and original ideas.

My only issue is bringing those ideas in my head to life, in a market where everything is mass produced and samey, or extremely out of budget. I reached out to The Shared Canvas in attempt to project what I had in my mind, and turn it into reality.

I discussed what I wanted, what I envisioned and where the mirror was to go. The Shared Canvas responded very fast, took my ideas on board and requested pictures of the space I intended to hang the mirror to assess the colours, 'POP', shape and general idea of what I wanted.

The service was informative, fast, reasonably priced and the result speaks for itself. It has become the main talking point for that space, and I love that I am the only person with this exact piece of Art.

100% recommend reaching out to turn your ideas into reality.

Personalised Canvas

Made my vision come to life. Talked through my ideas in detail, asked questions throughout to add different colours and textures and made sure I was happy along the way and that my vision was coming to life.
