✨ June Pop-Ups & Live Painting Events ✨

I am SO, SO excited for this month's lineup of live painting events and pop-ups! Every month I get to paint in new places, meet incredible people, and create little keepsakes and memories through art... and this month feels especially surreal.

If you would've told 16-year-old Cayla that one day she'd be painting at Summerfest, she probably would've either screamed or passed out. 😂 Maybe both.

As someone who grew up going to Summerfest, the thought that my artwork will be there this year honestly feels like one of those full-circle moments that doesn't quite feel real yet.

If you're looking for a custom watercolor portrait, want to browse original artwork, or just want to stop by and say hi, I'd absolutely love to see you this month! ❤️

📍 June Events:
• The Journeyman Hotel Pop-Up | June 2, 9, 23 & 30 | 4:30–7:30 PM


• 414Flea at Zócalo | June 7 | 11 AM–5 PM


• Dog Days at Boerner Botanical Gardens | June 8 | 3–7 PM


• Milwaukee Makers Market at American Family Field | June 21 | 10 AM–4 PM


• Summerfest Shop Local Market | June 25–27 | 12 PM–11 PM


Here's to a month full of painting, storytelling, and maybe a few "I can't believe this is real" moments ☀️🎨

One of the hardest and most meaningful parts of this job is getting to help preserve the memory of pets who meant so much!

Finished this portrait yesterday as a gift for a mother missing a very loved companion!

There’s something really special about turning old photos and memories into something tangible again ✨️

There’s something so special about getting to paint memories like these 🤍

This piece was commissioned as a Mother’s Day gift from an old childhood photo, and the entire process felt like stepping back into the early 2000s for a little while… the flash photography, layered shirts, uncontrollable laughter, all of it.

It reminded me how important these little moments become over time, and how often moms are the ones preserving them for us in the first place.

Feeling really grateful to spend this week creating paintings filled with so much love, nostalgia & family history!

Happy Mother’s Day to all the incredible moms out there 🌷

As someone who’s a Harley rider (okay… “rider” as in on the back of my husband’s motorcycle 😅), this felt like such a full-circle, pinch-me moment. Total fangirl energy getting to be part of something connected to Harley-Davidson and the incredible events they bring to Milwaukee.

This past Monday I had the honor of live painting at the Harley-Davidson Museum for a special event with , , and … and I’m honestly just feeling so grateful!

It’s moments like this that remind me why I love what I do… getting to create, connect, and be part of showcasing this city in such a meaningful way.

So grateful to be included in something so special 🫶🏼

😊 Some recent love stories, painted, and captured for forever ✨

Live guest portraits are more than entertainment for your wedding day... they give your favorite people a moment to slow down, connect, and leave with something meaningful to remember it all by!

A keepsake for them, and a memory for you!

Happy 414 Day! Please enjoy some well said marriage advice for my brother & sister-in-law from the one and only Charlie Berens!

Thank you, Charlie! You are best!

Commissioned by a brother, each one thoughtfully made for the people who he meant the most to… a piece for his wife, one for their parents, and one for the brother and his partner.

Such a beautiful way to honor his life… through the love he shared, the relationships he built, and the memories that continue to live on through the people closest to him!

It’s always an incredible responsibility, and an even greater honor, to create something so personal… something that will be held onto for years to come.

Grateful to have been trusted with these 🩷
