Live Event Fashion Illustration
Live fashion illustrations are a memorable experience and a unique gift! Each guest recieves a stylized fashion illustration they can share on social media or take home to frame. Live fashion sketching is perfect for Brand Activations, Fashion Week’s, Weddings, Private parties, Red Carpets, VIP events, launches and Charity Galas. I would love to be a part of your next event!

My clients include Nordstrom, Tiffany’s, Dior, Armani, Louis Vuiton, David Yurman, Target, Moxy Hotel’s, Porsche, The Minneapolis Institute of Arts, Roche Bobois, The Mall of America, The Timberwolves, The Vikings, and the Grand Opening of Mrs Harris goes to Paris.

What does a typical live wedding illustration booking look like? For most weddings I’ll begin sketching at cocktail hour and continue through the end of the evening (5-8+hours). I’ve also had couples schedule me to arrive earlier in the day to begin drawing family and wedding party before the guests arrive. Guests often exceed the amount I can illustrate during a wedding so I offer the option to finish sketching from photos at home and mail the additional artworks to guests.
