Hi, I’m Josie!

I am a professional painter based in Los Angeles, California. I studied Animation and Painting at the University of Southern California and Studio Arts College International in Florence, Italy. I’ve been painting or drawing as long as I could hold a pencil, and I’ve always had a love of capturing precious moments.
I started my painting journey with acrylics in middle school, recreating album covers and popular logos as binder covers for other students, and later pivoting to gouache and oils in high school which quickly became my new love.
Live painting is a dream career for me. I’ve always wanted to contribute to a culture I want to see, which is the public forum of artistry in its creation. I like to label my style as saturated impressionism. Depicting your likeness and the emotional feeling of the event is what makes your painting uniquely yours and captivating as a stand alone art piece.
To be able to create a special piece is such a privilege. The best part of the night is seeing the couple’s reaction to the painting for the first time. I hope that every time you view your painting, a different detail catches your attention and sparks a beautiful reflection on your special day.
