About Sally M. Fine Art

Sally M. Fine Art

Live Event Painter

Hi, I’m Sally! I started my business out of a love for creating art that connects people and preserves special memories. Over the years, I’ve had the joy of painting live at weddings, sketching guests at events, and creating commissioned portraits that become treasured keepsakes for my clients. I value clear communication, a warm and approachable character, and making the live experience as enjoyable as the finished artwork itself. Based in Southern California but always excited to travel, I’m grateful to share my passion with couples, families, and communities through art that celebrates the joy and celebration of life.

I love capturing people with a balance of real likeness and a painterly touch, so every piece feels both personal and artistic. My background in serving client families in the past taught me how important it is to preserve special moments, especially in commission work, and now I get to bring that same care and energy into weddings. Whether I’m painting a big moment on canvas or sketching quick guest illustrations, my goal is to make the experience fun, thoughtful, and memorable for you on your special day.

In three words: Collaborative, Creative, Thoughtful

  • An Incredible Artist Who Made Our Day So Special

    Verified review
    Hailee C.Oct 4, 2025

    Sally is an incredibly talented artist and one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day. From start to finish, she showed my husband and me such professionalism and kindness. She guided us in selecting the perfect scene to capture, and we were so excited when she told us she could include our doggies in the painting too! On our wedding day, Sally was absolutely incredible. It was amazing to watch her process and see the painting come to life throughout the night. Our guests raved about her talent and were so impressed by how accurately she captured our likeness in such a short amount of time. Even though the painting already looked stunning by the end of the evening, Sally still took it back to her studio to add even more thoughtful details and make sure it was absolutely perfect. We love having such a unique and personal keepsake from our wedding to cherish forever. Every time we walk by the painting, we’re reminded of the joy and energy of that day. It’s become one of our favorite conversation pieces in our home and our friends and family always comment on how beautifully it captures us and the moment. We’re so thankful we had Sally be part of our special day and would gladly recommend her to anyone looking for a live wedding painting experience. She truly turned one of our favorite memories into a piece of art we’ll treasure for a lifetime.

    During our wedding planning process, my, now, husband and I were trying to think of a unique party favor for our guest. After tons of googling and seeing options for mints, flower seeds, and keychains, I came across Sally and her work and thought, 'This is it.' Sally painted our guest during the reception of our wedding and truly wow'd everyone. We had so many comments on how much fun this was! Her artistry blew us away! I would have her at every one of my events!!!!!
