Our Signature Services

    Live Guest Portraits

    Our signature. An artist paints your guests in watercolor right there at the event, capturing each person in a few quick minutes. Guests mingle while the portraits come together, then leave with a piece made just for them.

    More About Live Guest Portraits
  • Multiple hand-painted guest gifts: tambourines and canvases and portraits

    Live Guest Gifting

    We paint personalized keepsakes on site, on just about anything: tambourines, mirror compacts, fans, whatever fits your event. Each guest walks away with a hand-painted, personalized gift made in the moment.

    Live Multi-Canvas Experience

    As our artist creates one original painting live throughout your event, a larger story unfolds. By the end of the evening, the artwork is separated into individual canvases, giving each guest an original piece of the painting, and a lasting connection to the experience.

    About Multi-Canvas Experience

  • Collaborative Commissions

    A painting your group starts together and we finish by hand. Your team, your family, your guests lay down the beginnings, and we take it back to the studio to complete it into a finished work. Everyone has a hand in it, and you're left with one piece that holds the whole group in it.

    About Collaborative Commissions

We create more than beautiful artwork. We create joy through art and human connection.

It usually starts with our live guest portraits, an artist painting your guests in watercolor as they mingle, each person leaving with something made just for them. From there we build whatever the event calls for, from roaming artists to a large painting of the whole night. Every experience is designed to invite guests to pause, connect, and take home something they'll remember long after.

What sets us apart is our team. Unlike a solo artist, we're a collective of professional artists and event specialists who work together to deliver a seamless experience, every time. Behind every event is a whole team bringing your vision to life with creativity, care, and consistency.

Because extraordinary events deserve more than beautiful artwork. They deserve a trusted creative partner.

Why Choose Art Experienced?

We make it yours.

Every activation is designed from scratch around your vision. We've never done the same event twice.

Your guests feel it.

There's something about being painted. Guests put their phones away, they linger, they come back. It creates moments you can't manufacture.

They take something home.

Every guest leaves with something made specifically for them. Not a gift bag. Not a throwaway favor. Something worth keeping.

MEET THE FOUNDER

Local artist and founder Giovanna Chaisson wearing a black top sits smiling at a white table with her painting in front of her
Award certificate for the 2023 Boston Business Women Award featuring a smiling woman with wavy brown hair, wearing a white outfit, and surrounded by a pink and blue circular border with the words "NOMINEE."

Hey there! I'm Giovanna, a designer turned artist and entrepreneur based on the North Shore of Boston who believes art has the magical power to create joy and bring people together. My creative journey began with Saturday morning Bob Ross sessions in the '80s, evolved through a corporate design career, then came full circle during Covid when my daughter inspired me to rediscover watercolor painting after a 20-year hiatus.

As a perpetual learner exploring how creativity heals and transforms, I get to live this passion through Art Experienced by creating experiences that celebrate the beautiful intersection of art, joy, and meaningful human connection.
