About the artist
MANZI lIU
Hi, I’m Manzi Liu—a wife, mom, and an artist based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, specializing in live wedding painting and live event guest portrait illustrations.
I’ve been known as the "art girl" since a very young age—the one winning art awards every year and creating posters for school events. My artistic journey has taken me to study in China, France, and the U.S., where I earned a BFA in Fine Art Painting from Florida Atlantic University.
Over the years, my art career initially focused on gallery exhibitions and public projects. My work has been exhibited in galleries and featured on TV and in magazines.
Then, one day, a gallery asked me to paint live during their event. I realized that capturing special moments in real time and connecting with people brings me so much joy. This is my calling. I want to use my skills and talent to bring happiness to others—transforming a couple’s love story or a meaningful moment into art right before their eyes. It’s not just about the painting—it’s about making people feel seen, celebrated, and valued. Being part of someone’s most cherished memories is a privilege I treasure, and I pour my heart into every piece I create.
