Why LIVE art
and How it works
Having an artist creating live art at your wedding cocktail hour and reception keeps your guests engaged and entertained while you get your photos done and gives them something fun to do throughout the night! Family and friends can come by the artist's table as often as they'd like, watch the artist create drawings of the wedding guests right before their eyes, and can pick up their own personal sketch before the end of the night as a party favor.
Ruby can have a photography partner take photos of guests as they arrive at the wedding ceremony, and send the images directly to her. She then can start creating her drawings during the ceremony, have them displayed on her table, so the wedding guests have something to see already as they enter into the cocktail hour/reception!
For the remainder of the wedding reception Ruby will be drawing quick sketches of guests from photos of them sent to her phone. As guests come up to the table they will have an opportunity to submit a photo directly to her to draw from. Rather than having the guests physically pose for 5-10 minutes while the artist draws them, they can come and go as they please, and their personal sketch will be a surprise displayed on the table throughout the night. Guests are welcome to keep their sketch as a wedding favor!
Every wedding is a little bit different, and Ruby is happy to personalize the experience to fit your needs.
Introducing
Ruby Underwood
Ruby has been creative since childhood. She has been drawing her entire life and learned to sew at age 12. After attending Stephens College for fashion design for a few years after high school, she switched to the Kansas City Art Institute where she studied numerous artistic mediums and received her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in ceramics in 2007.
Ruby's artistic ability has been prominent throughout her life. She has participated in many public art events in the Kansas City area over the years including Paint the Town, Chalk and Walk, First Friday in the crossroads, and more. One of her most consistent contributions to the art world has been through private artwork commissions.
While she thrives in many art practices including sculpture, drawing, and painting, one of her favorite and most striking avenues is lifelike portraiture. Ruby has an eye for proportions, light, and depth to truly capture an individual's personality through her drawings and paintings of people. With her new art venture creating LIVE art at weddings, she hopes to spread the joy of art while commemorating the love of the bride and groom at their wedding.
