Party Caricatures
A New Concept in Virtual Entertainment!
For your next online meeting or hangout, hire Ellen and her associates to create a virtual caricature on a digital tablet as it is viewed on your guests personal computers and devices. Your guests receive an immediate caricature with your branded logo or title as well as being entertained.
I will bring fun and laughter to your party. My purpose is to bring a smile to a crowd.
I draw 8 -12 individuals per hour.
My Caricatures are cartoony and cute so as not to offend clients. My Caricatures as Personalized Gifts are ideal for Retirement Gifts.

September 8, 2025Fantastic! You need Ellen at your next event!
We had Ellen at our company picnic and she was awesome! Super friendly, patient with everyone, and crazy talented. The drawings came out so fun and spot-on, and people were laughing and showing them off all day. She definitely made the event extra special—highly recommend if you’re looking to add something unique and fun!

What to expect
In one hour Ellen draws 8 in color and up to 12 in black and white. You can choose either the traditional caricatures or live digital caricatures. I guarantee that each guest will walk away laughing at their caricature as others watch on giggling. Ellen's caricatures are the most hilarious and fun filled type of entertainment.
About
I began drawing caricatures professionally at age 16. In addition to private parties, I entertain as a caricaturist at corporate events, cruises, nursing homes, children’s hospitals, and charity functions. Engaging, personable, and witty, I am quick to strike up a rapport with my subjects putting them at ease. The results allow for a fun-filled, often times hilarious experience for all. As a result of my many years in this profession, and multi faceted artistic skill, I am considered one of the top caricaturists in the Chicago area.
