Hi, I'm Kathy Buskett — wife, mom of three, and a professional caricature artist with 27+ years of experience drawing at weddings, corporate events, and special events around the world.

If you enjoy them, you can follow me on Facebook, Instagram, or YouTube where I occasionally post drawing tips and event highlights.
