Our idea was born when our co-founder Huw noticed something he had never witnessed before when at his sisters beautiful wedding, an artist painting the scene of the happy couple walking away from the church having just got married! After chatting with his sister, she explained how difficult it had been to find an artist who matched her style. An idea was born!
After delving deeper into this conundrum, Huw mentioned this issue to his cousin, who happens to be an aspiring artist in North Wales. She solidified the idea as she explained how difficult it is for aspiring artists to make a living doing something they are passionate about as there are no dedicated platforms. Putting these two together now made it clear what the next steps were to fix this problem.
To turn this idea into a reality a team would be required as it was too difficult a task to take on alone. Many tasks would have t be undertaken, such as building the website, performing market analysis, gathering information on weddings and artists needs and then finally putting this all together and spreading the word. Luckily there were a few candidates our co-founder could call upon for help.
Development began, starting with building the platform which artists who are looking for work within the wedding industry can use. A platform which allows them to showcase their portfolios and take bookings from couples looking to commission a live wedding painter. The idea had finally turned into a reality, and hopefully one that will be beneficial to two industries!
So after months of planning, recruiting and testing the idea was finally ready to reveal. As you can see our platform is now live, and although we are still in the process of recruiting and reviewing applicants, we hope to conclude this in a months time for all to see! We are very excited about the future and would love for you to be a part of it.
More updates to follow soon.
Kind regards
