🎨✨ A little behind-the-scenes painting moment…

My Palmer & Co Handmade bag has officially become a MUST for traveling with my art supplies. 🤍

Last weekend while we were camping, I was out on the boat finishing up the last few wedding paintings that I didn’t quite get completed at the wedding. I had everything I needed right in my bag — my water cup, paints, brushes, pens, and all the little things I need to create.

I paired it with my little hand easel and it was honestly the easiest setup. Grab my bag, grab my easel, and I’m ready to paint wherever we end up. 🖌️🌊

From weddings to camping trips to painting on the boat… I love that my art can come with me anywhere. 💕

And this handmade bag? Absolutely obsessed. It’s functional, beautiful, and makes carrying all my painting essentials so much easier.

Last night was one for the books. 🤍✨

I had the absolute honor of painting live portraits for Alex & Allie Roadt on August 22, 2026, at the beautiful Greenhouse No. 7 in Milwaukee.

What an incredible night celebrating two amazing people. Their family and friends were truly something special, and you could feel the love, joy, and excitement in every part of the evening. It was absolutely beautiful. 🥂💍

And this one was extra special because I had my daughter there helping me! Watching her be part of what I love to do made the night even more memorable. 🥹🎨

Here’s a little glimpse into the night — some of the portraits, the beautiful setting, and all the love surrounding Alex & Allie.

Congratulations, you two! Thank you for letting me be a small part of such a beautiful celebration. 🤍

Alex & Allie — your love story is one worth painting. 🎨✨

With elegant shelving, a soft overhead light, and plenty of space to showcase our watercolor portraits, it adds the perfect little touch of art, elegance, and personality to your wedding day.

From couples and families to beloved four-legged friends 🐾 — every painting tells a story, and now we have the perfect place to display them.

We can’t wait to pop this beauty up at our upcoming weddings! ✨

✨ A little wedding throwback! ✨

Looking back on Sarah & Will’s beautiful wedding day and this sweet behind-the-scenes photo of Charli and me. 💚🎨

One of my favorite parts of running Brushstrokes & Bubbly is getting to create lasting keepsakes for couples and their guests while making memories with my own family along the way.

So grateful for all the amazing couples who have trusted me to be part of their special day. ✨

Thank you Katie for capturing my daughter and I working hard at something we love doing!

Looking at this map is such a surreal feeling. 💚

Over the past year, Brushstrokes & Bubbly has had the honor of being part of weddings all across Wisconsin—from intimate celebrations to large, unforgettable days. Every pin represents a venue where we’ve painted live wedding guest portraits, created custom artwork, or helped make a couple’s day just a little more special.

It’s incredible to see just how far we’ve traveled to celebrate love, and we’re so grateful to every couple and every venue that has welcomed us.

We can’t wait to add even more pins to this map! ✨
