Live Art. Lasting Memories.

​Welcome to Canvas by Design, where life's most meaningful moments are transformed into timeless works of art.
​
I'm Natalie, a Perth-based live wedding painter and guest illustrator, passionate about capturing the joy, beauty, and emotion of your special celebration. Whether it's the magic of your first dance, a heartfelt moment shared between loved ones, or personalised illustrations created for your guests throughout the day, my goal is to create artwork that tells your story in a truly unforgettable way.
​
Your wedding day is a collection of moments that pass far too quickly. The laughter, happy tears, excitement, and love shared between family and friends deserve to be remembered long after the celebrations have ended. Through live painting and guest illustrations, I preserve those memories in a way that photographs alone cannot, creating meaningful keepsakes that become treasured reminders of one of the most important days of your life.
​
Having a live artist at your wedding or event offers so much more than beautiful artwork. It creates an interactive experience that captivates your guests from the moment the first brushstroke is placed on canvas. Throughout the celebration, friends and family gather around to watch the artwork come to life, creating excitement, conversation, and a unique form of entertainment that becomes part of the event itself.
​
For couples seeking something truly memorable, a live wedding painting becomes a lasting heirloom, an original piece of art that captures the atmosphere and emotion of your day in a way that is entirely unique to you. For those looking to delight their guests, live illustrations provide personalised keepsakes that guests can take home and cherish for years to come.​
