Howdy! I’m Marla Jones, a live wedding guest painter and portrait artist. I love capturing the energy and likeness of each individual I encounter. Everyone has a story and unique personality that I find so beautiful.

Since I was little, I’ve always loved to draw and Disney played a huge role in my life sparking that passion. I graduated from Texas A&M University with a Bachelor’s degree in Visualization (Computer Animation and Fine Arts). When my brother got married to my best friend, it inspired me to start this live wedding guest portrait business. Painting always brings me joy, especially when it’s for others. I love seeing people’s faces light up when they recognize themselves in my paintings. I strive to capture emotion and personality in all my works.

My style is relatively realistic with a bit of my own creative touch. I’m honored to get to do what I love and bring joy to others.

“She is AMAZING at capturing the likeness of each individual and her attention to detail from the value of shadows to the detail of lace on the dress. But there’s also this sparkle she adds to each piece.” - anonymous client
