When you have a booked event, it takes priority on my calendar!

I will arrive at the address given to me for your event 15-30 minutes before the start time of your booking, and will use this time to set up and get situated. As soon as the booked drawing time begins, I can begin drawing guests.

I draw approximately 20 faces per hour using black markers on 11x14” 100lb paper. I can draw as many faces as you want on a single paper. Each face takes about 3 minutes. I'll draw the head and shoulders of each subject. I draw with a very funny and cute style! Think classic cartoons and animated characters!

I can draw from photos when needed (if someone is not present at the event), but I prefer to draw everyone in person as much as possible. I can also draw pets!

Once the booking time ends, I will finish the drawing I am working on and will end there. Overtime may incur additional fees.

I've been drawing since I could hold a pencil! I've always especially loved cartoons and illustration. Anything that is a little fun and fantastical is my cup of tea!

I first got into caricatures at Cedar Point, and ever since then have found niches and events all over the Midwest drawing caricatures. I studied Illustration at Indiana Wesleyan University, where I also met my husband and fellow artist Evan. I continue to draw constantly, doing everything from children's book illustration and painting, to comics and card design. I am always looking to learn new things and visit new places!
