HELLO, I'M LEANNE
AUSSIE BORN // ARTIST // LOVER OF LIFE
Hello,
I’m Leanne Larson, a luxury live event painter based in Central Minnesota. Originally from the stunning Manning Valley in NSW, Australia, my journey led me from an Au Pair adventure in New York to marrying my husband, Jerry, and settling in Minnesota.
​
My live wedding painting journey began in 2011 with a spontaneous gift at a friend’s wedding. Since then, I’ve had the privilege of painting at elegant events across the US, Australia, Mexico, and the US Virgin Islands, and an invitation to Paris that, sadly, I had to decline.
​
My style is a blend of soft, romantic, and impressionistic techniques, focusing on the unique energy and mood of each event. I love engaging with guests and creating an immersive experience for them as they celebrate YOU on your wedding day.

HOW THE ART ALL BEGAN
BASED IN MINNESOTA, BUT READY TO FLY // EST. 2010
My journey began in 2012 when I chose to paint live at a friend’s wedding instead of giving a traditional gift. This serendipitous choice evolved into leading the way in the wedding industry as a unique service that not only entertains but provides couples with a timeless keepsake. As Picasso beautifully said, “The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away.” For me, sharing my artistry with you is a joyous experience, capturing the essence of your special day with every stroke of the brush.
Our limited availability ensures that each couple receives a highly personalized experience, with the opportunity to choose the exact setting and moment that hold the most significance—be it the ceremony, reception, or a cherished highlight like the first kiss or first dance. We take exceptional care in integrating personal touches, such as honoring absent loved ones or beloved pets with symbolic details or subtle inclusions.
With a focus on artistry and elegance, I look forward to creating a one-of-a-kind masterpiece that reflects your love story in the most enchanting way.
