How it Works
A quick photo is taken so they can enjoy the event while I work.
Working from the photo, I paint a quick watercolour portrait in my signature style.
They can watch the process or return later to collect their finished piece.
I typically illustrate 12–15 guests per hour, with bookings ranging from 4 to 6 hours.
For larger guest counts, additional illustrations can be completed after the event and mailed.
Each piece is painted in watercolour on heavyweight, artist-quality paper with a deckled edge, measuring
5.5 × 7.5 inches.
Based in Montreal, I regularly travel to Ottawa and Quebec City.
Pricing begins at $1100.

Stephanie is one of the most talented artists I've had the pleasure of meeting. I met her at two prior events and knew I had to hire her for my 40th birthday. Stephanie manages to create absolutely stunning portrait sketches in such a short period of time. I'm also amazed at how she gets the small details right on people she's only just met. On top of all of that, she is extremely kind, personable, and organized. My guests were so impressed with her and ecstatic about their portraits.
Having Stephanie at my party made it so special, and my guests left with a memory that they'll keep forever. I would hire her again in a heartbeat.

Our guests were so pleased to have an artist during the reception available to sketch them. This was such an original activity that we loved as part of our wedding reception. The guests loved seeing each others' paintings along with their own and admired all the small details that Stephanie captured (colours in the dresses, ties, pocket squares, etc.). At the end of the night, everyone was pleased to go home with a cherished memory of our wedding, we couldn't be happier!

We just wanted to express our heartfelt gratitude for your presence and your wonderful creations at our wedding. Our guests, just like us, had only kind words for you. You are talented, warm, and efficient. Thank you for these sweet memories.
