Viv Judson · Dallas artist

I’ll paint you like one of my French girls.

I paint your guests, your gifts and your whole night while it’s happening. Weddings, showers, brand nights and the best dinner parties in Dallas.

Tonight’s specials

Four ways to put a painter in the room. Mix them, match them, or tell me what you’re picturing and we’ll build it from scratch.

Live Guest Portraits House specialty

I paint your guests in quick, loose watercolor while they mingle. A few minutes each, and everyone leaves with a little portrait of themselves on their best night.

Best for weddings, birthdays, brand activations

Live Painted Gifts

Personalized keepsakes painted on the spot: tambourines, mirror compacts, hand fans, mahjong tiles, denim. Names, monograms, tiny portraits, whatever suits the party.

Best for showers, bachelorettes, client gifting

One Big Canvas, Split Up

I paint one large piece over the course of the night. At the end it comes apart into smaller canvases, so each guest takes home their own slice of the same painting.

Best for galas, dinners, company milestones

Paint-Together Commission

Your group lays down the first marks together. I take it back to the studio and finish it by hand into one real painting with everybody’s handwriting in it.

Best for families, teams, reunions

Hung out to dry

A few pieces from recent parties, still fresh off the brush. Tap one to see it up close.

Cut-paper collage of birds and gold stars on a blue sky, made for a nursery

New: art for little ones

Made for the nursery.

One-of-a-kind collages and paintings for your baby’s room, made by hand around the colors and little details that are already yours.

Cut-paper collages, watercolors and paintings, sized for over the crib or a reading nook.
Built around your room: send me the paint colors, bedding or a theme like stars, birds or Texas wildflowers.
Add a name, a birth date or a little secret only your family will spot.
A sweet shower gift, or a big-sibling piece so nobody feels left out.

Things I’ll paint on

If it holds still long enough, I can probably paint it. A few crowd favorites:

Tambourines

Mirror compacts

Hand fans

Mahjong tiles

Jean jackets

Totes & bags

How a night goes

From first email to the last guest out the door.

You tell me the plan

Date, venue, headcount and the feeling you’re after. I’ll come back with a few ideas that fit.

We make it yours

Colors, monograms, what we paint on and how the station looks. Nothing comes off a template.

I paint the party

I set up, paint all night and keep the line moving. Guests watch, linger and come back for a second look.

Everyone takes some home

Each guest leaves with something made for them. Much better than a gift bag.

Meet the painter

Hi, I’m Viv.

I’m a Dallas artist, mom, and the founder of Goldielox. My roots in this city run deep, and my favorite things are art and a room full of people having a great time, so I’m thrilled to be able to blend the two!

Live painting puts those two things together. People put their phones down, crowd around the table, and leave with something that was made just for them, that night.

xo, Viv

Save me a seat at your table.
