LIVE ART

At your event, Artist John Bukaty will capture the soul of the event on canvas for you and your guests while giving them a unique live painting experience. Bukaty thrives on the energy of people and encourages them to interact with him as he paints. Sometimes even surprising his guests with spontaneous participation by handing them a brush and directing it to the canvas. This creates a singularity and authenticity that people desire.

 

GIVE ART

Give a high-quality print of the original artwork to your guests. This is a great way to surprise and show genuine thought and personal attention to them as a follow-up to the event. Each print is signed and numbered by Bukaty, thereby giving more value and uniqueness to the gift. We only use the highest quality inks and substrates to create these prints. John Bukaty and his team have extensive knowledge of producing prints from originals and they fully understand the process from the perspective of an artist, graphic designer and printer.
