Meet Acacia

Acacia grew up in the Pacific Northwest, in Salem, Oregon. She has been passionate about art since she could hold a pencil. Growing up you could find her hiking or serving at a local church in student ministry. When she was 18 she headed to Arizona to pursue a degree at Grand Canyon University. During her time in school, she went to Florida to do an internship through the Disney Company at Walt Disney World. After finishing her degree, she headed back to Central Florida to reconnect with the church she fell in love with the semester prior while working for the Disney Company. There she pursued an internship in student ministry and was hired as the creative director for a small business in the city. Throughout the years of pursuing ministry and business, Acacia continued to paint in her free time; until late 2020, when she was asked to do a live painting during a Student gathering at church. Soon after that, she jumped right into the world of Live Wedding Painting. Over the past few years, Acacia has done many live paintings at galas, churches, and of course, at weddings. She is grateful for the privilege it is to use her artistic gift and gives thanks to the Lord for each opportunity she is given. She hopes to continue to use her art, enthusiasm, joy, and creativity to brighten up this dark world.
