October 2, 2021Amazing Talent, Friendly Personality, Awesome Service!
Marietta is fantastic! We booked a campground event with about 80 people and she drew so many wonderful caricatures. Everyone loved her addition to our Midnight Carnival themed party and they raved about how talented, funny, friendly, and professional she is. I completely agree. Everyone has such a fun time and what a fantastic souvenir to take home - one of her awesome caricatures! If you are considering booking her for your event, you most definitely should! She's got a glowing personality and an amazing talent! Book her for your event, you won't regret it!

About
👋Hi there!👋
My name is Marietta, owner of Caricatures by Marietta, and I'm a full-time event caricature artist with 20 years of experience! From 2003 to 2011, I drew guests at Worlds of Fun, Kansas City's local theme park, before leaving my position as assistant manager to draw at events just like yours! I've been doing that full-time ever since and I absolutely love it! This isn't just a job to me - it's my life's work. I'm so grateful this is what I get to do every day!
👉Kansas City's Top Choice!👈
The Royals? The Chiefs? Sporting KC? Nascar? We've drawn for them all! I've even drawn the Royals players in the dugout! Google? Walmart? IKEA? Petsmart? Zoom? Those are just a few companies we've drawn for! We've also drawn for a multitude of universities from KU to MU, as far as Florida and California, as north as Minnesota, and as south as Texas! Whether you're an individual client looking for a birthday party artist or a company wanting to draw in guests to your trade show booth - or anything in between - we're here to help! Weddings? Charity galas? After proms? After grads? School carnivals? Store promos? No matter the size of your event, the age range, or the reason, we'd be thrilled to come out and draw for you!
Ask me about QUICK CARICATURES, SLIPCOVERS, BRANDED PAPER, and MORE! I have many options to make your event unforgettable!
