About Watercolor Portraits by Gio

Watercolor Portraits by Gio

Artist

Hi, I’m Giovanna — a self-taught artist from Long Beach specializing in minimalist watercolor portraits. Art has been part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I love creating meaningful pieces that people can take home and treasure. Bringing that art to weddings makes it all the more special, it’s truly my life’s work. During your celebration, I’ll capture guests looking their very best with a quick photo, then transform each one into a custom watercolor portrait. By the end of the night, your loved ones can pick up their ready-to-take-home keepsake, beautifully packaged and uniquely theirs.

I specialize in live minimalist watercolor portraits, giving your guests a one-of-a-kind keepsake they can take home. Unlike standard favors, each piece is custom, hand-painted on high-quality paper, and can include personalized touches like your names, wedding date, or even a custom logo. What truly sets me apart is the experience itself: I capture your guests looking their best, let them enjoy the celebration, and have their portraits ready and beautifully packaged for them to take home. With a bubbly, upbeat personality, I bring energy and joy to the event while creating meaningful art that lasts a lifetime.

In three words: Creative, Efficient, Fun

    So Talented

    Watercolor Portraits by Gio was a true highlight of our wedding day. From the moment I met Gio at a local art walk, I knew her one-of-a-kind artistic style and aesthetic would be perfect for capturing some special moments and sweet gestures for our loved ones. Her communication was quick, efficient, and responsive throughout the entire process, making it easy to coordinate the portrait commissions. Gio was incredibly patient and talented, creating beautiful watercolor portraits that our family and friends adored. I would highly recommend booking Gio for your wedding - her work is truly unique and she gets booked up quickly, so don't wait!
