We had Lauren at our wedding doing guest portraits and everyone loved it!! It was such a fun touch and money well spent. She had a great system and I would definitely recommend her. During the planning she was so on top of everything so I knew exactly what to expect. Thanks so much Lauren you are awesome!!

I hired Lauren to do live painting for my sister’s wedding. Instead of traditional favors, we opted for portraits of the guests. Lauren’s work was amazing!!!! It was so fun watching her paint. Guests loved having something to take home. Her prices were reasonable. She’s an excellent communicator. 10/10 would absolutely hire her again and would recommend her to everyone!

We hired Lauren for our wedding on 5-3-25 and it was an absolute hit with our guests! Everyone loved the experience and the painting they got to take home. This was money well spent to give our guests a unique favor that they actually WANT to take home.

As for Lauren, she is friendly, professional and quick to respond to communication. Working with her is super easy and I would absolutely recommend her! If you’re considering a portrait artist, hire Lauren, you will not regret it!

“I had always dreamed of having a live painter at my wedding, but I didn’t even know where to begin looking for one. When a good friend of mine told me that Lauren was branching into weddings, of course (we) had to have her there. Lauren, you blew away my expectations. You were a JOY to have on my wedding day and everyone loved you and your work.”

“Lauren did such an amazing job painting this for me to gift to (my spouse) this year! Perfect first decor addition to our new home!”

“We absolutely love it! Thank you so much for beautifully recreating one of our favorite wedding photos!”

“I came to Lauren with a request to not only brighten up an office space, but to capture emotional senses from the past, present, and surely the future. Her product has done all of that and so much more. The painting continues to bring me joy, comfort, and peace weeks after its arrival. Lauren was very transparent throughout the process and explained her artistic mindset all along the way. I cannot thank her enough for the time and energy she poured into her craft.”

“Lauren’s final product (and the entire process working with her) went beyond my expectations! She created the most memorable illustrations of the fur babies. They were all filled with so much personality, and truly felt like I was looking at the pets.. which is incredible. As for the process, communication was beyond easy - and I was able to get glimpses of the process to make sure I was happy with it along the way. Working with Lauren was a dream, and I can’t wait to work with her again on another painted masterpiece!”

“I’m in love with the piece that Lauren created for me! Lauren was very patient in trying to understand what I liked and what would work well in the space that I wanted to put the painting in. I gave her only a few words to describe what I wanted the painting to represent, and she took those and beautifully ran with them! She even checked in with me a few times throughout her painting process to get my thoughts on elements she was adding in, which made me feel comforted and assured. The result is absolutely stunning and beyond what I ever could have imagined.”

“Your paintings were the HIT of our family Christmas this year!… My daughter-in-law cried when she saw the chickens and her cats in the paintings!”

“Lauren was so helpful in creating this gift for my parents celebrating all the homes they've had over the years! If you need a piece done would HIGHLY recommend!”

“If you’re looking for a pet portrait, look no further than miss Lauren! A local artist with incredible talent, efficiency, and communication - I can’t recommend her enough! I’m in love with my second order from her and can’t wait for the next one!”

“(Lauren) is phenomenal… Lauren is a friend from PT school; I have never known anyone else who is such a scientific genius and also artistic in the way she is. Thank you for capturing our family!”

“To commemorate Kev's childhood doggie that recently crossed the rainbow bridge, I commissioned a local artist to bring my vision to life and she absolutely nailed it! For any of your custom portrait needs, contact Art by Lauren Wu! She is so communicative through the whole process and gave so much love to such a meaningful momento! Thank you Lauren!”

“My friend Lauren Wu who is not only an awesome PT but also an incredibly talented artist who makes commissioned artwork made this artwork for me of my two babies coinciding with their 10th birthday that was this past week! Lauren is amazing, look at how she captured all the little details and got their coloring and markings just so perfect! I just can't stop admiring this! Thanks Lauren!”

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Lauren as our live artist at Field of Hope, and she was nothing short of amazing! From the very beginning, Lauren was incredibly responsive, organized, and a true delight to collaborate with. Her energy was calm, creative, and welcoming — she added such a beautiful and meaningful touch to the evening.

Not only was her artwork stunning and deeply appreciated by our guests, but her entire process — from communication to her payment system — was seamless and user-friendly. It made everything feel easy and professional.

We’re so grateful Lauren was part of our event. If you’re looking for a live artist who brings talent, grace, and a wonderful experience from start to finish, Lauren is it!
