ABOUT THE ARTIST

My name is Rebekka, also known as 'The Wedding Painter', and I am an artist located in South-East Melbourne, VIC, Australia. As of 2024, I have captured over 175 love stories on canvas, and cannot wait to capture yours!

​

My passion for Live Wedding Painting starts at capturing you and your individual quirks and features that make you, you. My style is photorealistic, however, beyond that, my aim is always to paint my couple's essence and the emotion between them, creating an authentic memory of their day.

​

Since starting this journey in 2021, I have been blessed enough to have painted anniversary portraits for WWE Wrestlers, live painted the Domain Open Home Challenge for House 2 on The Block 2023, been interviewed on live television in Chicago (USA), been featured on a Japanese television show - 'Unbelievable', and have spoken on numerous podcasts as an expert on Live Wedding Painting.

​

A little about me and how I found myself here:

 

I grew up in Melbourne and showed an innate talent for drawing from the age of six. I delved into photo-realistic portraiture from the age of eleven. As I grew older, the wedding industry began calling my name. I collected books on wedding planning and dreamed to someday be apart of this rewarding and heart-warming industry.

 

At the age of fourteen, I was featured in my first fine art exhibition and had my artwork published in a book. By the age of twenty-one I had already seen my work featured in the prestigious Rick Amor Drawing Prize, the National Gallery of Victoria, the Mornington Art Show, and the Melbourne Museum.  

 

I went on to graduate from Swinburne University with a Bachelor's in Business & Marketing and worked in content creation before getting engaged myself. Having rediscovered my love for weddings, I decided to combine my two passions by becoming a Live Wedding Artist in 2021.

​

I specialise in photo-realistic and hyper-realistic paintings. I love to capture the essence of my subjects through an emotional and intimate lens.

​

If you would like me for your wedding, I invite you to get in touch so that I can help make your wedding day dreams a reality.

​

With love
