Caricature Artist for Weddings, Corporate Events & Colleges in Buffalo & Rochester, NY
I've been drawing caricatures since 2000, and for years now that's meant weddings, corporate events, and college campuses across Buffalo, Rochester, and everywhere in between.
No travel fee, no matter where in that area your event falls.
A few minutes with each guest turns into something they'll keep for years.

What a live caricature adds to your event: A caricature station isn't just something to watch- it's entertainment! Your guests will gather around to see the magic happen.
It's a keepsake everyone walks away with, made just for them. And honestly, it's one of the best icebreakers I've seen at an event: people who don't know each other end up chatting while they wait in line and love to show off their sketch to others later on.
Who I work with
Corporate events
Company picnics, holiday parties, employee appreciation days: I set up a station and keep people engaged in between all the scheduled stuff, and everyone walks away with something for their desk.
Weddings.
I love drawing at receptions, and it works as entertainment and a favor at the same time, so your guests go home with something better than another napkin with your names on it.
Colleges and universities.
I'm out at campus events pretty often: orientation weeks, student life programming, that kind of thing. Reliable, guest-facing, good for a big turnout.
Birthdays, proms & sweet 16s.
I also draw at milestone celebrations: post-proms, birthday parties, sweet 16s, anywhere a group of guests wants a fun keepsake to take home.
No travel fee, Buffalo to Rochester and everywhere between: I cover Buffalo to Rochester and everywhere between: Getzville, Grand Island, Lancaster, Orchard Park, Perinton, Canandaigua, Batavia, Niagara Falls, Varysburg, all of it, with no travel fee anywhere in that area. No surprise charge on your invoice just because your venue isn't downtown.
Styles: I draw in whatever style fits your event: quick black-and-white sketches when I need to see a lot of guests, full color when there's more time per person. As a rough guide, black-and-white faces take about 5 to 10 minutes each, color faces about 10 to 15, and full-body portraits run 10 to 25 minutes depending on style. Tell me your headcount and timeline when you request a quote, and I'll help you figure out what makes sense.
Looking for something else? I also do henna tattoos and face painting, and a lot of hosts book two together for one event. See Henna Tattoos → and Face Painting →, or check the FAQ → if you've got questions before requesting a quote.
Ready to book? Tell me about your event (date, headcount, and venue), and I'll put together a quote.
