“Where Digital Meets Timeless Art”
Why Hire Werk's of Art by Craig as a Live Wedding Artist?
Watch your moment come to life. I create timeless keepsakes as a live wedding artist in Allentown, Bethlehem, and Easton, PA. I set up on a 24″ pen display running award‑winning Rebelle software, painting your chosen moment, your ceremony, first dance, or grand entrance, in real time.

I've watched Craig's art develop and refine year after year. What started as an pro in his craft led to even further exploration and pursuit of creative ways to express his talents.
Originally, I commissioned him to paint an engagement photo to surprise my, then, Fiancé with at our wedding.
Craig had the wonderful idea of doing a live portrait painting on our wedding day. I jumped at the opportunity to continue working together knowing the quality that comes with Craig, and thought it would be an excellent added surprise for my lady on our day. His presence provided a modern day classy touch to wonderful evening and he was able to capture the most intimate moment of my first dance with my wife to use as the live painting reference!
The excellent communication throughout the entire process has been appreciated and I am so excited to see our next Werk of Art complete!
