DALLAS, TX | LIVE PAINTER
Get to know Ruth Oneya: your live wedding painter
Hi, I'm Ruth! Originally from Nairobi, Kenya, I'm based in Birmingham, Alabama, and Texas is one of the states I travel to most. I've painted weddings across Dallas-Fort Worth and the Houston area.
​
As your live wedding painter, I set up my easel at your venue and capture your chosen moment as the celebration unfolds. Your guests get to watch the painting come to life throughout the evening, and after a few finishing touches in my studio, you'll have a one-of-a-kind piece of art to remember your day.
​
Travel to Texas is built into your pricing, so there's no separate travel fee to add.
