About Me
Hi, my name is Lakaia
I love to paint and I would love to share my work with you
Originally from Medford, Oregon I first started studying fine art at 15 when I enrolled at Rogue Classical Atelier.
After almost four years of classes I left to pursue higher education at St Olaf College in Minnesota where I earned my Bachelor's in Art History.
I spent one of my four years of college at the University of Aberdeen in Scotland where I started to paint and sell architectural watercolors of places I visited within Aberdeen and across Europe.
After graduation, I moved back to Southern Oregon and began teaching for RCA as well as studying advanced oil painting under Charity Hubbard.
​
As my body of works has developed so has my interest in live event painting. I have always loved weddings and I am always so honored to be a part of such an important event in someone's life.
My work is representational but I also take influence from impressionist styles. My desire is to capture the moment and the movement rather than a more stiff hyper-realistic style.
If you enjoy my work then please reach out, order a print, or a commission or, even better, hire me to paint at your event!
