April 24, 2026Karen is fantastic!
Karen’s artistic talents are impressive enough, but her people skills are amazing. She interacted with each guest, got to know a bit about them and integrated that information, along with her instincts, and what she saw sitting in front of her, into funny and yet flattering caricatures of each one of us. All done in a matter of minutes.

October 10, 2024Wonderful!
Karen was so wonderful to work with for our banquet! She was quick to respond to my initial inquiry and throughout the whole planning process. She went above and beyond to include our logo on the papers for the event, and was flexible with our increased size than originally expected. If you're looking to book a talented, great to work with, fun caricature artist in the Denver/surrounding areas, I highly recommend Karen!

What to expect
I draw quick sketch caricatures on the spot for your event, party, bar/bat mitzvah, wedding reception, college event, etc. Prices start at $80 per hour. I provide bags and my own supplies, table, etc. Each drawing is three to five minutes per sketch in black white. Color takes a bit longer.
I also can do finished work from photos you provide, full color or black and white, with many details. Call for a quote. These are great gifts for brides and grooms, retirement honorees, etc. Please refer to my website for examples.
About
I sketch classy caricatures at parties, events, trade shows, bar and bat mitzvahs, festivals, nursing homes, school functions, sports events, grand openings, etc. Please contact me for availability for your special event. Fun! Fast!
I have sketched professionally for 35 years and have a legitimate education in fine art (American Academy of Art 1982) and education (Indiana University, 2010).
Famous sketches: Willie Nelson, Helio Castroneves, Al Unser, Sr., Al Unser. Jr., George Bush, etc. Check out my website and request my CV.
Black and white caricatures are great "take home" gifts for events. I can draw individuals, couples, or groups. I work on a heavy card stock paper and sleeve each sketch in plastic. They are durable and travel well. I sketch heads only in 3 minutes: heads and bodies with a theme take 5 minutes per person. Email or ask me about themed pre printed backgrounds.
Full color is a nice option and takes a little longer for each sketch. On site color caricatures are about 12 minutes per person. Please look at my website and check out detailed full color work: these make great gifts for graduates, retirees, families, sports teams and may be reproduced. The artwork becomes yours upon purchase.
Art is entertaining: people enjoy watching the art work evolve! Children are interested in watching the creative process of the work and I enjoy answering their questions. Many clients book back again and again because the "art thing works well". My caricatures are fun and never offensive.
