Kathy Buskett
Hi, I'm Kathy Buskett — wife, mom of three, and a professional caricature artist with 26+ years of experience drawing at weddings, corporate events, and festivals around the world.
I’ve been lucky to meet thousands of people through my work — and a few celebrities — and I’ve collected more stories than sketchpads. So this blog is where I share them: the funny, the heartfelt, and the behind-the-scenes moments that make art and events so memorable.
If you enjoy them, you can follow me on Facebook, Instagram, or YouTube where I occasionally post drawing tips and event highlights.

After his wife passed away, he told himself he needed something to keep him busy — so a few years ago, he decided to learn line dancing. And h

Wedding Venue Review: Three Lakes Manor, Poplarville MS — A Castle in the Countryside
A castle in the countryside Every once in a while, I draw wedding sketches at a venue so breathtaking I jsut have to write about it — and Three Lakes Manor in Poplarville, Mississippi was one of those places. I was there this past weekend drawing live caricatures for a lovely wedding, and from the moment I drove up the long, winding road, my jaw dropped. Rising out of the Mississippi countryside was a literal castle — turrets, ramparts, and all — surrounded by rolling green

Happy Fourth of July from The Infusion Room
I was sitting on a bench in the hospital lobby two days before the Fourth of July, with my art supplies, awaiting orders. Eventually, a volunteer appeared and introduced herself.

I followed her up the hospital elevator....
