    For many couples, their wedding day goes by in a flash; overwhelmed with joy and constant conversation, remembering the special moments can be very difficult for a bride and groom. Sam Beibers, a native Mississippian and extremely talented artist, is helping capture those memories through his wonderful live painting.
     Born and raised in Walls, Mississippi, Sam began practicing his artistic skills at the age of three. "My mother was a good artist and would sketch at the kitchen table. I remember climbing up in a chair beside her and in my own primitive way, tried to draw like her. It's not unusual to draw as a child, I think we all do. I just never stopped!" smiles Sam. As an artist, Sam's career has showcased the versatility of his talent. By his mid-twenties, he was the senior illustrator at Mississippi Educational Television. For sixteen years, Sam worked as a freelance illustrator and graphic designer. During his time, he illustrated multiple books, designed print advertisements, and completed over two to three hundred drawing of animal species for the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks and the Mississippi Museum of Natural Science.

    Throughout his entire career, Sam has never stopped working on his own personal artwork, spending nights and weekends on his paintings and drawings. A talented portrait artist, clients continue to turn to Sam when they need pieces commissioned of their family and pets. His ability to represent the likeness of his subjects through his work makes Sam an excellent artist to capture a bride and groom on their big day. "I really enjoy the experience of painting a couple at their wedding. I stay focused on capturing the details of the moment they've asked me to paint but I thoroughly enjoy chatting with guests who come up to watch me work," says Sam.
     Though his subject matter varies widely depending on the task at hand, one thing has remained constant. "I am constantly sketching and drawing; I keep three sketchbooks at one time, one at work, one at home, and one in my car. In the past 30 years I have filled over 40 sketchbooks. My advice to any aspiring artist is if you like to draw, just get after it! It does not matter if you think you're any good or not, what matters is you enjoying the process!" smiles Sam.
