Bridal Party | Bottle Painting

This was a memorable private event where I painted on Jo Malone London candles for C&G’s guests. I did a bit of prep work deciding on the three painted designs: cherry blossom, peony and rose.

When the guests arrive, they would pick up the box with their name calligraphed on it, and choose one of the three flower types. I would paint away while the guests enjoyed cocktail hour followed by a delicious three course dinner. At the end of the night, the guests would find their personalized candles back in their boxes and ready to take home.

The guests loved seeing the candles painted and lots of happy comments of how pleased they were. This kind of personalization truly makes an intimate event memorable because they’ll always remember receiving a one of a kind item from the couple to thank them for their support.

Official photos from the event photographer will be posted when available.

Alo | Live Painting Edmonton

Celebrating Alo’s upcoming anniversary, Alo stores hosted custom monogram lettering on their active wear shoes. I had the honour of travelling to Edmonton’s Southgate Centre to hand-paint on their shoes in the client’s choice of colors.  Some opted to have just one shoe lettered, whereas others wanted both shoes with alternating colors to contrast each other.

Chinese Calligrapher Celebrating Events For 2024 Lunar New Year In Calgary

Another year has gone by in a flash and before I knew it, February 2024 arrived to celebrate the Year of the Dragon.

The past year has been an immense growth for me by progressing to a semi-cursive calligraphy style for returning and new clients who wanted a new blessing. The running style means adding a more artistic flair to the calligraphy, plus my own style is injected in it!

I returned back to Holt Renfrew again and the event was incredibly successful seeing new and familiar clients coming back. This month I also worked with Porsche for a private dinner party to calligraph blessings to their clients as well. All in all, 2024 is off to a wonderful start and I hope the Dragon Year will bring great fortune to everyone.
