Hi there! 


Meet your painter, Cayla!

Cayla is a Milwaukee-based live wedding painter and artist who transforms meaningful moments into lasting, heirloom artwork. She launched her business in January 2022 and is now entering her fifth wedding season, with over 10 years of painting experience behind her work. Her approach is rooted in storytelling, capturing not just how a moment looked, but how it felt.

For couples, Cayla’s live painting becomes both an interactive experience and a deeply personal keepsake, preserving the emotion of a wedding day in a way that lasts far beyond it.

For collectors, her custom artwork offers a way to hold onto meaningful memories, places, and stories through one-of-a-kind pieces created with care.

Alongside her event work, Cayla also creates original watercolor pieces through her Little Worlds Series, whimsical, nostalgic scenes designed to feel slightly imperfect and full of life. At the heart of everything she creates is a simple intention, to help people hold onto the moments that matter most.
