Live Events
Bring your event to life with portraits created in real time. I offer live portrait drawing and fashion sketching for guests, capturing them in 3, 5, or 10 minutes. Each sketch becomes a personalized original artwork they can take home the same day.
Whether it’s a cocktail hour, gala, or brand activation, live drawing turns your guests into the subject of a one-of-a-kind piece, creating a memorable and shareable experience.
