Live Portrait Painting for Events

Looking for something personal, artistic, and unforgettable? I can paint live watercolour portraits at your event, capturing real people in real moments! Whether it’s a cosy café session, a pop-up in your shop, the launch of a brand, or a private celebration, guests can have their portrait painted while they eat, drink, browse, or party the night away.

No big setup needed. Just a table, a chair, and a bright spot. I blend right in — painting quietly and offering guests some entertainment as they watch the portraits unfold.

I painted customers at a restaurant's Ladies Night, as an extra special keepsake for their visit. For some, it made the night more memorable!

Perfect gifts

I've painted outdoors, attracting passersby to stop for a chat or to make a quick order. These small portraits are great as gifts — I often hear people say, "now I don't need to think about what to get!".
