Live Fashion Illustration FAQ
PLEASE NOTE: I am not currently accepting weddings or any other type of personal event. This page is for fashion/corporate clients only.
What does live illustration at my event entail?
For fashion events: I arrive and briefly set up, then I typically do 7-10 minute fashion sketches of the models and/or guests. If you’d like longer poses, I can paint from photos while guests mingle or models get ready. You may keep the images for marketing/PR/gifting, or guests/models can keep them. Simply let me know your preferences and that’s what we’ll do!
What are the other available options?
If you prefer, I can work on one larger/more detailed painting during the event. This option is equally entertaining for guests, and provides you with a more substantial final work of art. This requires reference photo(s) provided in advance, or the opportunity for me to take photos at the event prior to painting. Additionally, I’m more than happy to meet your custom requests if you envision something I haven’t listed here. It’s your event, so we’ll work together to create the perfect illustration experience!
How do I reserve my date?
Corporate clients: Once we have confirmed your date is available, it has been reserved.
How much do you charge and when is payment due?
Your total price will depend on how many hours you book and if you have any special requests. I will send your quote promptly after you reach out with details. The price I quote you is all-inclusive; there are no surprise fees for taxes or supplies. However, for out-of-state and international clients, a travel fee may apply. Payment is due in full 30 days before your event unless we have agreed otherwise.
What does your setup look like, and do I have to provide anything?
You don’t have to provide anything at all! I come fully prepared with all necessary equipment, and don’t require more than a few square feet. If you have a specific location/set up in mind, I’m happy to work with you. If you have specific branded paper you’d like to use, just let me know.
What if I need to cancel my reservation? Do you offer refunds?
I do offer full refunds, just be sure to let me know you need to cancel 60 days before your event date.
What if my date is booked already? Do you have a waitlist?
If your date is already booked, I will be more than happy to add you to my waiting list. If a spot opens up I will reach out to you right away.
Why should I hire you to do this at my event?
Live illustration is personal, beautiful and entertaining. Each event’s unique environment influences the work, which means I’m constantly inspired to provide you and your guests with truly special souvenirs. It makes your event stand out in the best way possible and will provide a memorable experience that your guests haven’t had before. Working with me means the highest level of professionalism as well as excellent communication.
I have 16 years of fashion illustration experience, including teaching fashion illustration and illustrating live at New York Fashion Week, Indigenous Fashion Week in Paris, and for clients such as Nordstrom and Louis Vuitton.
