Meet Derek, Your Live Wedding Painter

Raised on Staten Island, New York, Derek has been creating art for as long as he can remember—starting with the cartoon characters he drew for hours as a kid. In high school, he made the leap most people only talk about: he committed to becoming a full-time artist.
Derek is 100% self-taught, shaped by daily practice and a deep respect for the craft. He was drawn to weddings because they hold the kind of emotion worth preserving—connection, nerves, joy, and the quiet in-between moments that make the day feel real.
Now, Derek paints live during wedding celebrations, creating a one-of-one artwork that becomes more than a memory. It becomes an heirloom.
