Stacey Greenshield Art

Hi I’m Stacey, a live wedding and events illustrator based between Oxford and the Cotswolds.

Live illustration is one of the most unique forms of entertainment for your event or wedding. I start by taking photos of the guests, then use them to create beautiful watercolour characters. My illustrations are all hand-painted from scratch, and because I take photos, guests can enjoy the rest of the celebrations without waiting for their portrait. My unique style has a children’s book theme, whimsical, playful and full of character.

Live illustration is a fantastic addition to any event, whether that’s a wedding, corporate or Christmas party. Guests get to take home a personalised piece of artwork they didn’t even know they needed.

Among hundreds of weddings I’ve had the privilege of working for some fantastic brands including - Soho farmhouse, Charlotte Tilbury makeup, Giant the play and Lakrids by Bülow

I started drawing and painting back in April 2020, during lockdown. I was eager to get a painting done for my sister of our old pony who had recently passed away, but with lockdown (and not having the money I needed) I tried some painting at home. That sparked a fire I didn’t know was in me, and from there I taught myself how to draw pet portraits and use watercolours. I sold my first custom portrait to a friend the next month and start a small side hustle of pet portraits along side my grooming career. In 2021 we welcomed our son into the world, and I was a bit lost on what I was going to do work wise. I had ended my grooming career due to pregnancy and was in search for a new adventure. I started playing around with illustrating. I illustrated a card for my husband for Father’s Day and shared on my Facebook page, it went crazy and I had nearly 50 orders of bespoke cards. I then discovered live wedding illustrating. A job I knew I’d love as I enjoy travelling, meeting new people and of course, weddings!! I illustrated at my first wedding in August 2023 and am now a full time illustrator, something I honestly never dreamed of. Since then I have illustrated at over 200 weddings and worked with some huge clients including Charlotte Tilbury in Bicester village, Soho farmhouse and a broadway play called Giant, based on Roald Dahl!
