Hello! I'm a live caricature artist known for both the quality of my artwork and my friendly, engaging personality. I draw quickly while capturing strong likeness, delivering pieces that are clean, stylized, and fun. Guests walk away with both a fun memory and a frame-worthy keepsake.
I’ve worked at major, competitive state fairs nationwide—often as a top-selling artist—and have drawn for leading companies like Google and Facebook. Even when working alongside artists with decades more experience, I’m often the artist guests wait in line for. If you'd like to elevate your event with world-class art from a kind, hard-working professional, I’d love to draw for you!

June 4, 2026Michelle Garzone's Caricatures was a huge hit at my mom's 70th birthday party!
From beginning to end, Michelle was an absolute pleasure to work with. I had several caricaturists available for the event, but I was immediately impressed by her professionalism, responsiveness, and the quality of her artwork. Her communication throughout the planning process was excellent, and her drawing style was exactly the vibe I was looking for—elegant, fun, and professional.
During the event, Michelle was incredibly flexible and accommodating. She made sure that everyone who wanted a caricature had the opportunity to get one, and she kept guests engaged throughout the party. One thing that especially impressed me was her ability to create a wonderful caricature of the birthday celebrant(mom) while my mom was actively mingling and entertaining guests.
Our guests loved their keepsakes, and Michelle's presence added a unique and memorable touch to the celebration. I would highly recommend Michelle Garzone's Caricatures for birthdays, corporate events, family celebrations, or any special occasion where you want to create lasting memories.
Thank you, Michelle, for helping make my mom's 70th birthday so special!

December 9, 2025Michelle was lovely, on time, and friendly. Our guests had a wonderful time with her, and her artwork was a great touch to our event. Many guests went home happy with their portraits, and there were even whispers of some wanting to frame theirs! Great communication, personality, and craftsmanship. Thank you for being a part of our event, Michelle!

I will arrive at least 30 minutes early to your event, well-dressed for whatever occasion you are hosting. I can provide my own chairs and lighting if needed, but if you could provide 3 chairs, that would be helpful. I will draw your guests from life, but if someone is not present, I can draw them from a good quality photo as well, but almost all of my caricatures are done from life, while guests sit in the chairs provided. I also draw pets! The size paper will be 11x17 and I provide clear poly bags for guests to take their artwork home. I look forward to the opportunity to create one-of-a-kind memories and keepsakes for your guests.
Grew up in New Jersey, have travelled all across the country, landing in the beautiful Bay Area of California. Educated at Rutgers College. 46 years old.
I provide my own setup, however, extra lighting is always appreciated.

I'm influenced by so many amazing artists, and compete with some of them every year at the International Society of Caricature Artists (ISCA) annual conference.
