A KEEPSAKE PORTRAIT IN JUST 5 MINUTES

Add a splash of charm and creativity to your event with live watercolor portraits β€” a one-of-a-kind experience that your guests will never forget.

Starting at $250/hour, guests enjoy quick, personalized portraits (as fast as 5 minutes per session!) painted right before their eyes. Whether it’s a wedding, corporate gathering, birthday, or boutique event, these mini masterpieces double as entertainment and a heartfelt keepsake.

🎨 How It Works

Each guest or couple takes a seat for a brief, delightful session. In just a few brushstrokes, their personality is captured on paper β€” a mix of whimsy, elegance, and joy.

I can do up to 12 live sessions per hour, and if your guestlist is larger in size, ask about my Pre-Made Portraits, finished before your event even begins! Starting at $20/portrait

πŸ’Œ Why Guests Love It

  • Completely Personalized – No two portraits are the same. Every sketch is a unique reflection of the guest.

  • Interactive Entertainment – Watching the portraits come to life is half the fun. It sparks smiles, conversations, and admiration.

  • The Perfect Gift – Guests walk away with a keepsake they’ll actually treasure β€” far better than the usual party favors.

My favorite thing in the world to do is to talk about art. And what better way to do that, than with a person who gets to sit for their own portrait? I love meeting folks, hearing brief stories and insights into personalities, and trying, in my short moment, to capture a glimpse of the person sitting before me. I do believe that art is intrinsically tied to the social interactions between humans, and nothing will ever replace a human saying β€œI see you.”

But also, I get to paint dog birthday parties, and let’s be honest, that may be better.
