C + A . May 29, 2022 . Wedding Illustration

At my best, at the core of how I make images, is the concept of witness.

In painting, I find the most satisfaction when I act as a witness to the person or scene I’m trying to depict.

In illustration, and in wedding illustration, I’m an actual witness to the couple who declare their love for each other in front of their community.

This summer, I had the privilege to witness, and then illustrate, the wedding of friends. It was an honor to be with them and their daughters as they enter this new chapter of their lives together. In making these illustrations, I kept thinking of their friendship and of the art (my art!) that would hang in their home and travel with them and their daughters through time.

Cheers to you, Christine & Armando!
