Reviews From Past Clients

"Devin is so incredibly talented and created the most magical keepsake from our wedding day!

She was so accommodating to work with and made our vision come to life. Our guests were amazed watching her progress throughout the night and the final product came out even better than we could have imagined! I highly recommend Devin to anyone who is looking for a unique way to remember their wedding day!"

Madison

"Words cannot describe how talented, professional and kind Devin is! 

My sister surprised us with Devin as a wedding gift (10/10 would recommend doing this for someone you love!) and everyone has not stopped talking about her! She is amazing to watch in action and it was a fun experience for my guests. Not only is it a cool experience to add to your wedding, the painting itself…it’s unreal. Devin’s work is almost life like/a photograph. I couldn’t believe how much it really looked like us!"

Hayley

"Devin was extremely professional and very easy to work with. 

I hired her as a gift for my brother's wedding. She added a fun, unique dimension to the reception, as she painted all through the night. There was a constant buzz about her work! The painting at the end turned out better than I could've imagined. A true work of art, capturing a beautiful moment that tells a story a picture never could. It was the perfect, one of a kind, gift. I would hire her again and again."

Tony

"We absolutely loved working with Devin.

From the beginning, she was professional and showed enthusiasm for completing our painting. It was amazing to have her at the wedding venue and work on the painting in front of all of our guests who were amazed at her work! After our wedding, she followed up with clear timelines and we knew exactly what to expect in terms of different editing options. We highly recommend Devin!"

Katrina

"If you want a unique and unforgettable experience at your wedding - don't hesitate and book her! 

She captured our first kiss and it was so special to have her painting the scene live for our guests to watch and interact with her. The final product came out better than we could have imagined, and you can tell she pours her heart into each painting."

Kelsey

"Devin is hands down one of the most talented and sweetest people I’ve met. 

She completed a live wedding painting for us March 11, 2023, and her talent was worth every penny and then some! She even was so eager to add our two pups in when we asked. We got so many compliments from family and friends about her work throughout the day. She then hand delivered the finished product to us— we can’t wait to hang it as a reminder of our day for years to come."

Alyssa

"I hired Devin to paint my daughter and new son in law's wedding and I am so happy I did! 

From the first moment I reached out to her she was enthusiastic, professional, informative and very prompt with her correspondence. The day of the wedding she made herself available to all the guests for conversation and questions while diligently working on the painting of the newly married couple. Devin delivered the completed painting in a very reasonable time and it came out gorgeous!"

Mildred

Devin was everything I could have hoped for and more! 

She was so prompt with communication, so kind, and the quality of the final piece is so beautiful. She captured our wedding in such a unique way, and this is something we will cherish forever. I would book her again in a heartbeat!

Custom Portraits
By Devin Tormey Art

You choose the photo, moment, memory, or dream. I choose the brushstrokes, one by one creating your everlasting artwork. My style focuses on true-to-life portraits and charming color combinations, with my personal painterly touch.

Commissioned works are meaningful, beautiful, and memorable gifts for yourself or a loved one!

The step-by-step process starts in your head, with a unique vision, passes through my hands, one brushstroke at a time, and ends in your heart, when you receive your completed custom artwork. 

01

You dream it up, you write it down.

Consider the collector – who the artwork is for… yourself, a family member, a friend, then imagine the moments, memories, or dreams that inspire the collector! Is it a favorite place? A special person? A favorite item? Dream it, then write it down on my inquiry form. 

02

I review it, You’ll hear back from me (When spots open).

I take on a very limited number of commissioned works per year. I thoughtfully consider every request, and when spots become available, you’ll hear back from me if you’ve been selected for that round of commissions. 

03

I send necessary info, You complete a quick questionnaire. 

I guide you through the vision process, collecting your preferences, so we can begin our creative adventure together!

04

You schedule our call, I listen, inform, and record details.

Through my scheduler, you’ll pick your ideal date and time for a phone call. We’ll get to know one another, chat about the painting vision, answer questions, and move on feeling confident about the painting plan!

05

I send over your contract and invoice, you sign and send 25% deposit.

An important step that locks in our agreement and sets the painting plan in motion!

06

I paint, you revise, or approve!

Once completed, I share final photos of the work with you. Two rounds of revisions are included to ensure your vision has been properly executed. Once the painting sparks joy in your heart, you approve!

07

I prepare, and you receive your final artwork.

The approved artwork is photographed, varnished, and prepped for shipping or delivery. You receive it, and our creative journey comes to an beautiful end. 

Typically, turnaround time from start to finish is 4-6 weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions

FAQs

When do commissions open?

I makes spots available anytime the wedding painting season slows. Typically in the winter months. Occasionally a spot or two will open in the summer months. Join my email list to be the first to know when spots become available!

Can you combine several reference photos into one painting?

Absolutely. While some visions only require one image, others require several. Whether we’re combining family members, animals, locations, or a combination of them all into a composition, I’m happy to work with you to discover the potential for your painting.
