We love Karen! She is fun and so easy to work with. Her work is wonderful and all our members were so pleased with their portraits!
Response from Quick Draw Karen:
Aw, thanks, Dallas! how nice of you to give me such a great review. I was very happy at how many kids enjoyed getting themselves drawn. Especially the boys. Usually boys don't do it. Very nice gig, thank you.
Karen was an amazing artist, I was very honored to have her at my wedding. She was very friendly with everyone! Very responsive to any questions or concerns and was just an overall joy to work with. I will definitely be hiring her for future events. Everyone loved their caricature and I had many people say it was the best gift they have ever gotten from any wedding. 10/10!!!
Response from Quick Draw Karen:
Aw, thanks Max!! You put me to the test there with full faces in color so very glad for the happy guests.
If you’re thinking of adding a “sumthin special” to your party please book Karen. Everyone she came in contact left with a smile. She made us all look fabulous. A+++
Response from Quick Draw Karen:
Thanks Jamie! It was a great shower with wonderful women.
Quick Draw Karen was a huge hit at our company event! She was really great at making sure all our employees got drawings, and everyone loved their caricatures!
Photos from this event
My husband and I had a small destination wedding and decided to have a reception where we live for those who were unable to attend. We wanted to have some type of entertainment and came across the idea of having a caricature artist. I was highly impressed with the level of detail Karen provided about her services and charged a fair price in comparison to other caricaturists. Karen was always quick to respond to all of my emails and clearly answered questions that I had. The day of the event she arrived 30 minutes early to set up which we greatly appreciated. Everyone loved having their picture drawn because Karen was able to capture what made that individual unique in the most flattering way. She was also very accommodating in drawing groups of people and finding a way to make them all fit on the paper. I would highly recommend hiring Karen and your guest will thank you for giving them the opportunity of having a caricature they'll cherish forever.
Response from Quick Draw Karen:
Wow, thank you Alex! You covered it all with great grace. Blessings to you.
Karen was very nice to work with. Her caricatures were excellent! What talent!!!
My husband and I along with all our guests really enjoyed Karen. Our guests kept going back for multiple caricature drawings of themselves and with friends and relatives. Karen did such a wonderful job! I would hire her in the future for another party.

Response from Quick Draw Karen:
Thanks Rebecca! For inviting me to your unique party. Such beautiful people!
I briefly said hello to Karen during my reception, and I could tell right away her enthusiasm about being there was positive and exciting! She made my wedding guests so happy and excited to get their drawing done! I would highly recommend her, she was very responsive with communicating details!
It was such a pleasure having her!!
Response from Quick Draw Karen:
Thank you, Marta! I was only sorry I didn't get to draw you and your new hubby. I met him though. You make a darling couple.
Karen was fantastic. She was great with our guests and has such an amazing talent. Our guests loved having her at our event.
Response from Quick Draw Karen:
Wow, thanks, Emma! I very much enjoyed drawing last night. The guests were fun and really interested in being drawn so that was neat.
Karen was a great asset to our family Christmas party!
She drew profiles for all of our guests, and everyone got a fun keepsake to take home.
Karen was very professional and her drawings really capture the essence of the subject.
Highly recommend!
Response from Quick Draw Karen:
Thanks, Cindy! I must add Cindy and her group were most gracious to allow me to come whenever I could that day. My car broke down on the way to the party and I was two hours late! Thanks, Cindy!! Glad everyone liked their drawings. karen

Gig Length: 120 - 3000 minutes
All I need is a little space to set up my table and lights. I'll get right onto my first victim as soon as the clock starts and draw til I drop. I have a two hour minimum, and I'll need to get up and stretch once an hour so I actually don't "drop". I always try to get a likeness and be complimentary at the same time. Your guests will definitely enjoy this personal gift from you for years to come.
I got my big break right after graduation from the University of California, at Davis in 1965...where I got a job at Disneyland drawing Pastel Profiles in Tomorrowland! This got me drawing in front of the public and I haven't looked back. I drew at fairs mainly, until In 1986 I met famous Brown Derby Caricature Artist, "Pancho" Willmarth. He taught me the ropes of Party gigs, and got me to join "NCN" the National Caricature Network, now ISCA, the International Society of Caricature Artists, where I really honed my skills. Famous caricature artists from all over the world meet and draw and learn from each other. Wow. Faces are the greatest challenge for artists, I think, and I am very blessed to have drawn thousands of them... For Money! And, I can exaggerate. How cool is that? I think sometimes Caricatures look more like the person than portraits. What do you think?

I got my training at Disneyland, and was later mentored by Frank "Pancho" Willmarth of Brown Derby caricature fame. He also introduced me to ISCA, the International Society of Caricature Artists, where I have been greatly influenced by the likes of Tom Richmond, of Mad Magazine fame. Of course we all were influenced by the great Mort Drucker of MAD Magazine when we were kids.
