Overview
Karen Kovich The Queen of Caricature
I WAS THE CASA BONITA CARICATURE ARTIST IN LAKEWOOD in the 80'S!!! Woot Wooot!
I draw, I paint and I can even balloon twist--
I sketch at your event, party, bar/bat mitzvah, wedding reception, fundraisers, etc. and provide
Quality keepsakes for your guests. I also work from photos and generate work "on the drawing board" and ship to you! I teach as well, and have had a background check so you are comfortable with my services at your event with children. Know Who You Hire for events-- and have fun!

Karen was so wonderful to work with for our banquet! She was quick to respond to my initial inquiry and throughout the whole planning process. She went above and beyond to include our logo on the papers for the event, and was flexible with our increased size than originally expected. If you're looking to book a talented, great to work with, fun caricature artist in the Denver/surrounding areas, I highly recommend Karen!

Karen and her wonderful caricature talents were such a good addition to our company picnic! I have even planned to her back at another event. She showed up on time, with all of her materials, a table and chairs. She has a wonderful personality, and everyone loved her drawings! I would highly recommend her!

My company hired Karen as a face painter for our company picnic. The original date that we had planned for was very rainy and we decided to postpone. We were only able to give Karen a few hours' notice, but she was very understanding and was more than happy to reschedule with us! We ended up having our picnic a few days later and she showed up early to set up and did wonderful face paintings. I would definitely recommend hiring Karen for any company event, or for any type of entertainment needs! 10 out of 10!!
Face Painter
Karen was amazing! The quality of her face painting was excellent! She made each child feel special and listened to their requests! Loved her!!
Contracted Karen for an event on our college campus and she was fantastic! She had a line for 2 hours but had a great balance of getting through customers while also taking her time and being very friendly and personable. She was lovely to communicate with, and all around was so friendly and likeable! Everyone had a great time and we will definitely be reaching out in the future!

We were pleased to work with Karen for three consecutive nights. She was personable and engaging, and her caricatures were incredibly well received. 5 stars and our highest recommendation for Karen at your next event!

Karen did face painting for our Oktoberfest event in September. She was punctual, flexible, and a delight to work with! The kids loved her designs and I would definitely hire her again.
Face Painter
I hired Karen for my daughters wedding reception, everyone really enjoyed their pictures and she done a fantastic job.
Caricaturist
My husband and I went to a wedding where a caricature artist did on the spot drawings for guest and loved the idea. We met Karen at the Bloomington Bridal Convention and contacted her right away to book her for our wedding. She did an excellent job capturing the likeness of our guests. She was also professional and quick to respond to emails. She contacted me a month or so before the wedding to confirm details and arrived promptly at our venue. Her pricing is very reasonable and a great value for the quality of drawings!
She even did a caricature of my husband and I from photos that I emailed her so we wouldn't have to spend time away from greeting our guests. I would highly recommend her for your event.
Caricaturist
Karen came for 3 hours and did both face painting and caricatures for our anniversary/birthday party. There were both young and old there and everyone enjoyed her. She was so pleasant to work with and her art is fabulous. I highly recommend Karen!

We hired Karen to do caricature drawings at our wedding reception. The guests absolutely loved it and said the drawing were the best wedding gift they have ever received! Thanks Karen!
Caricaturist
Heard great things about Karen, but she impressed me even more on the day! She sketched every single person at our wedding, even moving venues with us, and she kept a huge smile on her face the entire day. Such a sweet, talented woman!

What to Expect
I draw quick sketch caricatures on the spot for your event, party, bar/bat mitzvah, wedding reception, college event, etc. Prices start at $80 per hour. I provide bags and my own supplies, table, etc. Each drawing is three to five minutes per sketch in black white. Color takes a bit longer.
I also can do finished work from photos you provide, full color or black and white, with many details. Call for a quote. These are great gifts for brides and grooms, retirement honorees, etc. Please refer to my website for examples.
About
I sketch classy caricatures at parties, events, trade shows, bar and bat mitzvahs, festivals, nursing homes, school functions, sports events, grand openings, etc. Please contact me for availability for your special event. Fun! Fast!
I have sketched professionally for 35 years and have a legitimate education in fine art (American Academy of Art 1982) and education (Indiana University, 2010).
Famous sketches: Willie Nelson, Helio Castroneves, Al Unser, Sr., Al Unser. Jr., George Bush, etc. Check out my website and request my CV.
Black and white caricatures are great "take home" gifts for events. I can draw individuals, couples, or groups. I work on a heavy card stock paper and sleeve each sketch in plastic. They are durable and travel well. I sketch heads only in 3 minutes: heads and bodies with a theme take 5 minutes per person. Email or ask me about themed pre printed backgrounds.
Full color is a nice option and takes a little longer for each sketch. On site color caricatures are about 12 minutes per person. Please look at my website and check out detailed full color work: these make great gifts for graduates, retirees, families, sports teams and may be reproduced. The artwork becomes yours upon purchase.
Art is entertaining: people enjoy watching the art work evolve! Children are interested in watching the creative process of the work and I enjoy answering their questions. Many clients book back again and again because the "art thing works well". My caricatures are fun and never offensive.
