A live event artist creates real-time artwork through fashion illustration, portraits and personalised favours such as handmade cards and hand painted packaging.
It is a dynamic service that engages and captivates guests, enhancing the overall atmosphere of any even. It boosts social media coverage and presence, creating shareable moments that attendees love.
Each artwork serves as a complimentary gift that guests associate with the positive experience of the event, encouraging interaction and networking among them.
This unique art form not only captures key moments but also fosters a sense of community, making your event unforgettable.

On the day of the event, I arrive at your chosen location with all necessary materials and equipment, setting up 30 minutes before guests arrive. Please provide a table and chair for a workspace.
During the event, guests can queue up to be illustrated, with each portrait taking approximately 10 minutes. Attendees are encouraged to capture photos and videos, especially during the exciting reveal.
Finally, each portrait is wrapped in tissue paper and gifted to the guest, allowing them to cherish their personalised keepsake long after the event concludes.

I have had the pleasure of collaborating with a variety of esteemed clients, including Strathberry and Shrimps for their exciting launch event, as well as Selfridges, where my illustrations added a unique touch to their in-store experiences for VIP clients. I have also enhanced brand staycations through marketing imagery, personalised illustrations and bespoke workshops, such as for the New Balance x Office activation.
Other notable clients include Loanhood, Arlo & Jacob and Quierdo.
