About Me
Hello, I am Kristin Chase
A Minnesota-based wedding painter who paints the most significant life events on canvas. I specialize in custom studio pieces based on your images or ideas and live wedding painting. Although I usually paint in Minnesota and Wisconsin, I would be pleased to travel anyplace—another state or halfway around the globe—to be part of your celebration.
Apart from painting, I am a teacher, musician, wife, and proud mother of an active child who keeps life unpredictable. I love cooking, game evenings, hiking, and getting lost in Fantasy Books by Brandon Sanderson and TJ Klune. In 2018, I saw my husband and I tie vows in a small Tuscan town. Our dream is to share our love of travel with our son. Our family also consists of two cats who bring special appeal to our daily excursions and a charming black lab.
Every painting, to me, is a personal narrative brought to life rather than only artwork. Let’s make something very memorable together.
Why you want me as your artist
- As a live wedding painter, I offer the perfect combination of live artistry and meticulous finishing. I’ll paint at your wedding for 6–8 hours, creating a captivating experience for you and your guests, then spend an additional 8–20 hours in my studio refining every detail until your painting is genuinely exceptional. I don’t consider a piece complete until I’m brimming with pride and can’t wait to share it with you.
- If you’re a Midwest couple, I can easily travel to your wedding. If your wedding occurs out of state or abroad, I am an avid traveler with years of experience navigating various destinations worldwide. Whether it’s Italy (where I speak conversational Italian and expertly navigate the train system), Norway, the Virgin Islands, or beyond, I’m excited to bring my artistry to your unique setting. I’ve painted and explored places like Iceland, Germany, Austria, and Croatia, and I’m always eager to add new locations to my journey.
- For studio-commissioned pieces, I’m here to bring your vision to life—whether inspired by a photo, a memory, or something we create together. With flexible options in acrylic or oil, any canvas size, and the ability to match or mimic any style, your painting will be exactly as you envision. From progress updates to surprise reveals, I work closely with you to ensure the final piece is meaningful and uniquely yours. Let’s create something extraordinary together!
“Kristin has made multiple custom pieces that are displayed in my home; from wedding, to nursery art, and landscapes. She does beautiful, high quality work that will be enjoyed for many years to come. I will definitely be buying art for myself or to give as gifts from her again!”

“Kristin is an AMAZING wedding painter! She did ours live and it turned out phenomenal. She is very professional and it was also great entertainment for our guests (especially during cocktail hour), and we were able to have it back in a couple of days after the wedding!”
— Becky, bride
“Kristin is such an incredible person. You will love working with her. One of the most vibrant people I know. She painted one of my favorite photos from our wedding. It was such a beautiful way to commemorate the day. I cannot recommend her enough.”
— Derek, groom
“My husband and I are expecting our first baby. We wanted to have artwork to help create a special space for our new family. We told Kristin about our theme, which was a loose idea at the time, as well as the colors of the wall. She asked a few questions about style and preferences. She created a stunning 3 canvas painting that is perfect. This painting is gorgeous and very special to us. I will treasure it dearly for the rest of my life. Collaborating with Kristin was super easy and her work speaks for itself. Stunning. Gorgeous. 10/10.”
