Joni was hired to be at our association convention. I could not be more pleased with our experience with her. With minimal direction, she was out and about on the convention floor engaging our members and providing them with a great caricature and laughs during. We received numerous compliments. Watching her draw with two hands drew quite the crowd!

Thanks so much Adeline. It was such a fun event!
We had Joni as our artist at a big party for four hours. Everyone loved her artwork. She was extremely insightful in her depiction of people's personalities and relationships. She is a lovely person who worked with a smile. She was punctual and professional, arriving with all the necessary equipment. She set up quickly and was ready to go when the party started. I would love to work with Joni again!

Thanks so much Evan!
Joni was well received by our venue, a 50-years in business celebration. The original booking was 7-9p. Due to a same week itinerary change, she was asked to appear between 9-11p. She was happy to accommodate. Our guests were impressed with her talent and her ability to draw with both hands. Many left the event with a fun and custom memento. I would highly recommend Joni as a caricaturist.

With one day notice, to our surprise, Joni Fleming agreed to do our event. She arrived early, had everything set up and ready within minutes. Her ability to draw with both hands simultaneously is amazing to watch. A truly unique talent. She's fast, friendly and accurate. All of our guest loved her and their caricatures. I would not only recommend her to others, but would definitely hire her for our future events. Thank you to Joni and her assistant for the entertainment. A pure pleasure! Time lapsed video clip of our event featured on her social media.

Thanks so much Cori! I loved drawing for you all!
We work with youth in a Residential setting who have gone through abuse, neglect and/or trauma. We planned a fun day of lunch, Bingo and surprised the kids with Joni coming. Some of the kids were first slow to go sit with her to be drawn, but then they realized how cool it was to have their picture drawn ... and the smiles were starting glowing! Thank you Joni for sharing your talent with us. You were very patient with all our kids, but especially with a few of the special needs kids that attended the event. We are so glad to have had you on our campus!! :)

Joni did caricatures at our wedding August 28th, and it was one of the best wedding decisions I made! Everyone absolutely loved getting drawn, and people are still talking about how cool and different it was. She drew one couple's two dogs who weren't even there, and they were SPOT ON. She even did a special request drawing of Randy Moss for me to gift to one of my dearest family members. He was absolutely speechless. Of course I'm biased but I think I had the coolest wedding favors ever! I couldn't have been more pleased with Joni. All the stars!!!

Joni was marvelous. Being a former teacher, she was fun, interactive, and talented. She was early and wonderfully pleasant. She definitely was a great addition to my daughter's 16th birthday party. The kids received a super cute and entirely unexpected keepsake to bring home as Joni was a surprise for the kids-it worked out perfectly. She's a total delight. Thanks Joni!! -Stefani

About
Looking for something uniquely entertaining? I draw ABIDEXTRIOUS caricatures! That’s right, I draw with two hands at the same time! I love drawing and entertaining! Drawing the human form and faces has been my focus since I could pick up a pencil. As a young child, I studied and drew people around me whenever I was bored, waiting in line, or just out and about observing. I began as a portrait artist and fell into caricature gigging after working at Paramount’s King's Island from 1979 to 1984. I've been teaching, doing studio work and drawing at parties/events ever since. I also have a BFA in Art Ed, Fine Arts, MEd.
Additional Booking Notes
I do live and digital work in a variety of media. I draw approximately 20 single face caricatures an hour.
