Incredible Caricature Artist

Karen was AMAZING! Our guest absolutely loved having her draw them at our reception on 7/25/26. She entertained as she drew, and our guests were lined up to have her sketch them. Her pictures were fun, funny, and spot on. Can't recommend her enough!

Wedding Caricaturist

Amazing!! My husband and I hired Karen for our wedding to draw caricatures of guests instead of doing the traditional photo booth. Guests wouldn't stop talking about how cool their caricature turned out and how fun Karen was to talk to. She ended up staying all the way through the grand exit, which was longer than we initially planned, because guests kept sitting down for a drawing. We are so glad to have had found Karen -- our caricature is such a special keepsake from our wedding day!

Delightful, professional, and easy to work with!

Karen was great to work with for our Block Party event. Communication before the event was smooth, and she was extremely responsive. She was very professional at the event, and managed her station expertly. Her caricatures were a big hit with families, and she made our event extra fun for our guests!

Karen 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.

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.
