Amanda Scimeca

Amanda Scimeca is a live wedding painter based in Lakeville, CT, who brings over 150 weddings of experience from working in her family's catering company to her artistic practice. As a live painter, she captures wedding moments through brushstrokes during the event itself, creating paintings that couples can enjoy both during their celebration and for years afterward. Amanda specializes in oil painting, which distinguishes her approach from other live painters who typically use acrylics or watercolors. She works with high-quality oil pigments that allow her to refine details even days after the event. Her artistic style incorporates impressionist and surrealist elements, emphasizing movements of light and scenery while integrating each couple's wedding color palette into the composition. Couples work directly with Amanda to select which moment they want captured—options include the ceremony, first kiss, first look, aisle walk, first dance, introduction, or posed moments. She can include the couple alone, add guests, incorporate pets, or include deceased loved ones in the painting. Beyond live painting, Amanda also creates custom wedding signage on canvas or wood, including menu designs, bar signage, and welcome signs.
