Searching for a unique interactive experience for your special event? Live event illustration is a creative way to give back to your guests, celebrate their personal style, and provide some extra fun and entertainment for them during your reception or event!
My sketches are done in inks and markers in full color. They can be branded with your event name and date, and are the perfect take home pieces!
Guests put so much thought into their outfits for events, so the offer to draw them in their look is usually met with excitement. I often hear things like “This is so cool! I’m going to frame this when I get home!”

How I’ll work with you:
As a live fashion illustrator, I give your guests the VIP treatment by transforming them into fashion illustrations on the spot!
I bring my own art supplies and sketch your guests on site during your event.
Each sketch paper can be branded with your logo and event date so that they can take it with them as part of their own personalized memento.
I’m available to book for live fashion events and private events (such as Fashion Week events, Brand Launches, Trunk Shows, Galas, Weddings, Bridal Showers, Corporate Holiday Parties, Sweet 16’s, Bat Mitzvahs, Birthday parties, and more!) in the New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania area. Inquire about additional locations. Travel requests are taken on a case by case basis. *Available for international travel.
