  • "Alexandra is incredibly talented! She created a live painting at our June wedding at the Van Dusen Mansion in Minneapolis, and we couldn't be happier with how it turned out. The finished painting is absolutely beautiful and is something we'll treasure for years to come. Our guests loved watching the painting come to life during cocktail hour, it was such a fun and unique part of the day. When the finished piece arrived, it was packaged so thoughtfully, and the presentation was such a special touch. If you're considering a live wedding painter, I highly recommend Alexandra."

She has done close to a dozen paintings for me throughout the last three years, and I will keep coming back as her work is phenomenal. She captures a great liveliness to each and every pet she has painted! Truly talented beyond words!"

  • "Alexandra did a wedding portrait for me and throughout the experience she was amazing. She is very skilled in her craft, kept me up to date on progress, had a clear timeline, asked for my opinion and welcomed my suggestions as she worked. The value of what she created for us to share is beyond what we imagined it could be and we are so grateful!'

  • "I have worked with ZL Studios at the same wedding where she did her live painting. I am a wedding and event planner. I planned a couples wedding from start to finish where I was the one who contacted all vendors and stayed in contact with them through the duration of the planning process and the day of execution of the wedding. Her communication is top notch and her demeanor is so friendly. She very responsive to emails and just and all around great and talented person. You seriously would be hard pressed to find another individual who has the talent she does and exudes all the things that are good. Her paintings are amazing. I've seen happy customers that have had paintings done by her. She's reasonably priced too. You will not be disappointed."
