“I believe art should preserve not just how a moment looks, but how it feels.”
Hello, I’m Julia Ranson Mooney.
I have been painting for as long as I can remember, but it was witnessing the joy of couples during their wedding day that led me to focus on live wedding painting.
For me, painting is about more than capturing appearances. I want my work to reflect the emotion, intimacy, and beauty of a fleeting moment. There is something magical about creating a piece of art as a celebration unfolds — knowing that this canvas will become a family’s first heirloom.
bring the same attention to detail and care to every piece I create, whether I am standing in the middle of a lively reception or adding the final layers of paint in my studio.

I’ve been a professional painter since I was classically trained years ago by renowned professors at the Savannah College of Art and Design and Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. Since then I’ve been honored to see my commissioned work find its way to the walls of clients all over the country and beyond.
My approach combines fine art technique with the spontaneity of live performance. Every stroke is guided by years of training, practice, and a deep love of painting.
