Live Portraits

I specialize in capturing the essence of your guests in real time with pastel drawings, including their attire and hairstyles, creating a unique and interactive experience that leaves a lasting impression. 

Drawings are drawn live onsite. Each drawing takes approximately 3-5 mins, allowing for 2 or more guests per session. They are drawn on hand made paper and packaged for guests to protect the artwork from smudging, damage or fading. 

The cost for a live guest drawing session is $300 per hour, with a maximum of three hours per event. 

​

​

My setup is minimal and includes signage, a portrait example, drawing paper, packaging and a selection of  colors and pastels. 

I do require that the venue provides a table and chairs for both myself and my assistant. 

I am based in Austin.

For 2026 I will no longer be booking events outside of the Austin area. 

You are welcome to book one, two or three hours of live drawing. 

You can split the drawing time as you'd like- for example one hour during cocktail hour and two after dinner OR all three during event reception.
