Meet Our Team

Mercedes Pfab

OWNER / ARTIST / LEAD ARTIST

Local Dubuque artist Mercedes Pfab captures her visions on canvas using Acrylic Paints to create realistic paintings with the finest details. Mercedes can paint anything from pets, architect, people, and automobiles on canvas to resemble a photograph. High contrast colors, depth, clean lines, and fine detail is what makes Mercedes artwork one-of-a-kind.

​

With her passion of art, Mercedes opened her own art gallery, Captured on Canvas, in 2016 to share her talent through selling her artwork and painting custom pieces for people. Six months later she expanded the business, by offering paint parties! With her smile and fun personality, Mercedes leads each party with passion!
