WHAT ARE PEOPLE SAYING

​

• I have used Pappion Art  starting in 2017 when she was hired provided the perfect gift for my son’s weddings.  She was again hired to do another wedding for me in 2023.  She was able to travel to Utah for one wedding and Colorado for another.  Christina was able to capture a special moment in time on canvas and included all of the family as well as the bride and groom.  She is one of the few artists that I have found who can truly capture the facial features of the people.  She has painted one of our beloved pets as well as other family members special events. 
  Christina is organized, professional and a delight to work with.  She has become a friend, and I would not hesitate to use her for any event.

• We had the pleasure of working with Christina for the National World War II Museum’s Campus Completion Gala, and the experience was nothing short of exceptional. Her creativity and attention to detail brought our vision to life in ways we couldn’t have imagined, capturing a milestone for the Museum that we will cherish forever. 
  Her professionalism and dedication to her craft were evident at every step. The final artwork not only exceeded our expectations but has also received rave reviews from many across the Museum. The details throughout the piece beautifully captured the evening's feeling, tone, and mood, preserving it in a way that will resonate for years to come. 
  We highly recommend Christina for any artistic endeavor. Her exceptional talent, professionalism, and ability to translate emotions into art make her an invaluable collaborator for any project.

•  Pappion Art was the perfect gift idea and remembrance for My Wedding Day!  She illustrated a generation picture of me, my mother and grandmother from all of our Wedding days. My mom loved the gift. In memory of my Father she was able to recreate the most beautiful picture of the both of us to have at the reception entry way. I also got her to illustrate a picture of my husband , father and grandfather. He loved the gift idea as well. 
  I highly recommend Pappion Artistry , she is a wonderful person and the most talented artist I know !

• I recently had the pleasure of working with Christina for WK Kellogg Co’s National Sales Meeting, in Palm Springs  and I am absolutely thrilled with the custom shoes she created. From the moment I reached out, her quick response time was impressive, setting the tone for a seamless collaboration.
  
  Christina possesses an impeccable talent for accuracy, perfectly capturing our company logo and characters with astonishing detail. Her ability to translate our vision into a stunning piece of wearable art is truly a God-given gift. 
  
  What truly stood out was her dedication to ensuring my satisfaction. She provided a digital mockup for review, allowing me to visualize the final product and make any necessary adjustments. This thoughtful step made the entire process smooth and worry-free.
  
  I am grateful for her professionalism, creativity, and the beautiful shoes that became the highlight of our event. Christina  is a blessing, and her work is a testament to the excellence that comes from using one's talents for His glory. Highly recommend!

• If a picture says a thousand words... Christina is an amazing artist! We commissioned her to paint at our daughter's wedding and she knocked it out of the park. Christina is professional and so personable. She took the time to get to know our family, the bride and groom, and was so accommodating when we asked to include 2 heavenly angels in our painting. Her work is truly amazing, and we could not be happier with the final piece. This beautiful art will be a daily reminder for the newlyweds of their special day as it hangs in their home. If you are looking for wedding painer, look no further. Christina is your artist!

• Christina is absolutely amazing. We reached out to her for custom wedding shoes and they came out even better than expected. We were getting married in PA and wanted a touch of New Orleans and my favorite holiday Mardi Gras at the wedding.  We worked with her to customize air force ones. Beyond being talented, Christina was also very professional, timely (we may have waited til close to the wedding) and super fun to work with. She took my ideas and gave them life. I cannot wait to work with Christina again and I would highly recommend anybody getting married to reach out to her whether it be for shoes or other paintings. Having such special custom shoes was one of the highlights of our wedding.

• Christina Pappion is a truly talented artist! We were first introduced to Christina at our friend’s wedding and were blown away by her work. We booked her services the moment we finalized our wedding date (11-11-23). Christina is not only talented but also very timely, professional, and the sweetest person inside and out. She promptly responds to emails and provided guidance in selecting the perfect canvas size for our venue (NOPSI Hotel). With a clear vision of how we wanted our painting to capture our wedding day, Christina brought our dreams to life on canvas. Our wedding guests loved seeing the painting progress throughout the reception. In fact, several newly engaged friends have already reached out to us for Christina's contact information. Her artwork stands out as one of the highlights of our wedding day. We are so grateful to Christina for giving us a priceless work of art that we can look back on and forever cherish. Our recommendation to anyone considering booking Christina is to do so well in advance! Her schedule fills up quickly, and for good reason. We cannot recommend her enough!!!

• Christina absolutely knocked my painting out of the park! Completely exceeded all my expectations. Not only is her artistry spectacular, but she was very communicative throughout the entire process. I asked her to add or tweak a couple things throughout the process and she knew just what to do. She has a very keen eye and her artwork truly does show it. I could not be happier with the final product and would highly recommend her to any of my friends and family!

• CHRISTINA IS MAGIC. Both of the pieces were absolutely beautiful. They brought me to tears. She absolutely nailed it, it was perfect! This was is the BEST gift I have ever gotten and I have Christina to thank for that. She is extremely talented and I’m so happy that she was able to make these two pieces.  💜💜💜

• We love our wedding painting so much!!!! Can’t wait to stare at it everyday to relive the best night!🥰🥰 thank you again!

• Y'all... I cannot put into words the MAGIC that Christina works with that brush. So back story, I got the Live Painter as a surprise wedding gift for the bride (my now wife). While I expected the live painter would be a ‘nice little add’, I DID NOT EXPECT HOW AMAZING THIS WOULD BE! I was blown away at the detail, the perspective, the professionalism, the ABSOLUTE PERFECTION of the painting. Not only that, but Christina herself is super cool and so compassionate. She was patient when I asked a ton of questions about canvas size (because I have no idea about anything art-related), she was helpful when I was stressing with other vendors and forgot to send the contract back to her (held our spot because she understood the planning stress), she was kind when we got on a phone call and she talked me through the process, and she is so full of love… And that love, that patience, that kindness flows from her heart to her hands, through that brush and onto that canvas to memorialize your perfect day in a way that not even photographers can capture. When our friends posted Instagram stories from our wedding, almost ALL of them included the live painting in their posts. Some of my groomsmen (big, tough, ‘manly men’) asked if they could get copies of the painting because it was so cool and captured the day perfect. And sidebar: Christina herself is like awesome; we’re friends now. She’s THAT great. Bottom line – BOOK. HER. NOW. She is the best and you will not believe how amazing the final product will be. Thank you, Christina!!!!!!!

• Contacted Christina to do a guestbook and painting as a gift to my Baby Sis. She is extremely attentive to making sure her creations are everything you ask for and more. My Sister actually cried when her guestbook arrived in the mail, which isn’t an easy quest. Lol She is always telling me that every guest that enters her home comments how beautiful it is. Don’t hesitate on hiring Christina. She is amazing!!!

• LOOK NO FURTHER!!! Christina did an ABSOLUTELY AMAZING job at our wedding! Christina live painted at our wedding 9/25/22 and she was worth every penny! She not only captured a sweet memory with our loved ones but also gave us an heirloom we can pass down generations and that - that’s priceless! So if you’re in her reviews, look no further - you’ve found the perfect live wedding painter out there!

•  Christina goes above and beyond for every project we’ve commissioned her for.  She is incredibly talented , imaginative, passionate, committed, and has great attention to detail. Christina is truly a person that goes above and “BEYOND”! Thank you Christina for the most precious gift (space boots) for our little Buzz! The extra touch of the personalized letter literally brought me to tears! How incredibly special. We will cherish it all forever!

• Christina is AMAZING! I commissioned a portrait for a coworker whose dog recently passed. The dog was extra special as it was actually her dads dog before he passed. I gave her a couple of reference photos to go off of and it was even better than i expected! She helped create a priceless memory for a good friend. I would use Christina again in a heartbeat!

• Dot Bourgeois 4 years ago  Reply      0likes currently 

• Our live painting was everything I could’ve asked for and more. Christina was able to capture all of the small details perfectly!! The way she painted my dad is UNREAL, as she was able to get his mannerisms, facial expression, and everything! 15/10 I highly recommend Christina for your event! 

• Brooke 4 years ago  Reply      0likes currently 

• Absolutely LOVED our wedding guest sign in painting and it was a hit at our wedding!! Christina was super quick with the painting, communication, and shipping! And the painting was literally spot on to what we looked like considering she pieced it all together through random photos!!! Highly recommend!!!

• Christina painted our first dance live on our wedding night. We met before hand and discussed who I wanted most in my portrait, she even asked if there was anything special she could add to it. She had the idea to add our two dogs into the painting even though they weren’t actually at our reception. It was a surprise to my husband he just loved it!! The painting is so beautiful and our guest loved watching her work. She’s just so amazing at her job! 

• Sierra 4 years ago  Reply      0likes currently 

• Christina captured our special night so wonderfully, I cried when I saw the finished piece! She painted our first dance and it was a highlight of the evening for us and our guests. I am so glad we will have this memory hanging in our home to remind us of the night's beauty so perfectly! Our hearts are so full. 

•  Christina created a beautiful painting and toasting glasses for us at our wedding. It was our favorite gift we received! She is very professional and was a absolute gem to work with. Every person that walks into our house comments on how beautiful it is! I recommend her to every single one of my friends getting married!! 

• Ashley 4 years ago  Reply      0likes currently 

• Christina was booked for my wedding date but she was the only one I wanted to create our wedding painting. After our wedding I sent her a few photos from our wedding and omg it turned out beautiful! I love looking at it everyday. As a New Orleans wedding planner Pappion Artistry is truly amazing! I recommend her to all my clients, friends and family. Nothing like a painting from your wedding day to have in your home forever. 

• Robyn  www.blueskieseventsnola.com 4 years ago  Reply      0likes currently 

• Christina helped jumpstart our wedding journey many years prior to our wedding. So when it was time to plan our forever- it was no doubt her and husband had to come along for the event. Our wedding was a destination wedding with a picturesque background of beach, palm trees, and big live oaks full of moss. It was as Southern as you could get but with our favorite vacation background. She guided my husband and I to the right size portrait, she helped choose the best backdrop for the painting, she even helped me choose a pose the day of the wedding. There were so many special parts of my wedding day, but hands down, Christina allowed us to capture a moment in time from an artistic point of view that my husband and I will forever cherish. It currently hangs on our living room mantle where we plan to keep it. 
  
  In lieu of all that, her art during the wedding was its own show. She starts out with the backdrop, slowly adding in details as drinks are served, and music is played. People gathered around her watching her create such a beautiful piece of art from a literal blank canvas. I am forever grateful for the experience to see her paint and do what she truly loves to do. 
  
  Can’t wait to keep adding to our collection. As we currently have three portraits hanging in our home from her. ️

• Christina painted a live painting for my best friend’s wedding in 2016. The wedding party gifted this to the bride and groom- we considered MANY artists from the southern Louisiana area, and could not be happier having found and worked with Christina!! She was a joy to work with and the beautiful final product was just what hoped for and more. I could not more highly recommend Christina and Pappion Artistry for live wedding paintings, or for commissions for any other special events and timeless keepsakes. ☺️☺️️🙏

• Christina painted my wedding in 2016 live and I look at it every single day. She captured the feeling of the first dance and I get a little piece of heaven literally every day when I look at it 

• Lindsey Jenneman 4 years ago  Reply      0likes currently 

• My husband and I chose to hire a live wedding painter as our wedding gift to each other. We booked Christina and WOW! All of our guests were so amazed watching the piece of art come together at the reception and still talk about it today. Our painting is proudly hung in the entryway to our home and it will forever be one of our prized possessions. We loved the painting so much that we commissioned Christina to paint us another family painting for my parents for Christmas. Christina is such a talented painter and we love investing in her talent so that our homes are brightened with the memories she puts on canvas!

• Julee Powers 4 years ago  Reply      0likes currently 

• Christina was absolutely AMAZING to work with. We found her when we attended a friend's wedding in New Orleans in March of 2021 and immediately fell in love with her work. We asked her if she would travel to Lake George, NY for our wedding just six months later, and luckily she said yes! She provided us with our guestbook and performed at our wedding, and we are continually stunned by how impressive her performance was and by how incredible the finished product is! We are so blessed to have such a beautiful and permanent reminder of our special day, and all of our guests were just as awed at her work as we were when we first saw her perform at our friend's wedding!
