About Elena Fay

Hi, I’m Elena Fay — a Maryland-based live wedding painter, event artist, and product designer serving couples and brands across Maryland, Washington DC, Virginia, the East Coast, and destination events worldwide.

When I sketched at my first event in 2013, I fell in love with the energy of live art and guest interaction. What started as a passion quickly became a career focused on one thing: creating elegant artwork that keeps the feeling of an event alive long after the day ends.

What I Specialize In

  • Live wedding painting (ceremony, first dance, reception moments)
  • Watercolor guest portraits as luxury party favors
  • Live art experiences for luxury brand events and private functions.
  • Live fashion sketching for galas, premieres, and private events

I also offer custom illustration work, including menu and invitation art, portrait commissions, murals, stationery, packaging design, and branded illustration.

Selected Clients & Features

Brand collaborations: Porsche, Cartier, Chanel, Tiffany & Co., Louis Vuitton, Salvatore Ferragamo, Four Seasons, J.Crew, Bloomingdale’s, Neiman Marcus.

Media & publication features: Real Housewives of Potomac, Style Me Pretty, Washingtonian, DC Magazine, Baltimore Weddings.

Whether I’m painting live at a wedding, illustrating guests at a gala, or creating art for a luxury brand, my goal is always the same: joyful, elevated artwork that becomes part of your story.

Most weekends, I’m painting live at weddings and events across Maryland, Washington DC, Virginia, New York, and New Jersey — with regular destination travel nationwide.
