Meet the Artist

Jayden (Carroll) Oliver is a studio artist and live painter based in the Greater Charlotte area. Drawn to the arts from a young age, she has spent years refining her craft through formal study, personal exploration, and a growing portfolio of live paintings, commissions, exhibitions, and original works.

After earning her Interdisciplinary Studies degree in Fine Arts, Outdoor Leadership, and Biology at North Greenville University, Jayden made some of her favorite transitions to date! She married her husband, event-day assistant, and business advisor, Aiden, whom she met at NGU, and FINALLY jumped into full-time work as both a studio artist and live event painter. Now entering her sixth year of live painting, she travels to weddings and special events to create meaningful, one-of-a-kind artwork in real time. Whether painting a custom heirloom tailored to a client’s vision or painting guest portraits and favors on-site, her work offers an interactive and memorable experience for everyone involved.

In her personal artwork, Jayden draws much of her inspiration from the beauty of the natural world. Having visited 17 U.S. national parks, she hopes to one day explore and paint them all, capturing the landscapes and moments that have shaped her creative perspective.
