Live sketching brings an artistic, sophisticated touch to your event. Working in watercolour, I create quick, gestural portraits in my signature fashion-illustration style—both an engaging experience and a treasured memento for your guests.
Guests can watch as I work or return later to collect their piece.

How it Works
I am able to sketch on average 12-15 guests per hour. Bookings range from 4 to 6 hours.
For events with larger guest lists, packages are available to accommodate extra sketches, mailed out afterwards.
Sketches are painted in watercolour on an artist-quality heavy weight watercolour paper with a deckled edge.
The sketches measure 5.5”x7.5”.
I am based in Montreal, Canada. Fixed rates are available for, Montreal, Ottawa ,Quebec City, Toronto/GTA
Live sketching experiences begin at $1000 for 4 hours of service. Each booking is thoughtfully tailored to your event — with offerings available for weddings, corporate events, and brand activations.

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.
With over 10 years of experience working with brands for in-store and PR events, I offer both watercolour portraits as well as live product customization.
