What to Expect from Mi
Upon arrival, my assistant warmly greets your guests and captures a photo of them in pairs — we believe everything is better in twos! Their names are noted and they're added to the queue, then they are free to enjoy the celebration! Meanwhile, I bring each portrait to life one by one at my easel — and by the end of the event, guests walk away with a one-of-a-kind watercolor keepsake to treasure.
It's as much a performance as it is a gift.

About the Artist
Art made in the moment
Hi, I'm Miriam — a watercolor artist from the Charlotte / Fort Mill area who believes the most beautiful art captures life as it's actually happening. I set up my easel at your wedding and paint your ceremony, first dance, or reception in real time.
Guests gather around, watch the painting emerge, and by the end of the night you walk away with an original piece of art that no photo could replicate.
Every painting is as unique as your love story.
Miriam
Kind Words
My daughter got married last weekend. Miriam, Live Paintings by Mi, painted our wedding guests at the reception. This was one of THE best experiences for us all AND I had to share! She is so talented, the absolute sweetest, professional and these are gifts and memories we will keep and cherish forever! Thank you, Miriam Benitez 💞
