Loved at Parties Across the Gulf Coast
From backyard birthdays to packed celebration parties, my party caricatures keep guests laughing, engaged, and talking about your event long after it’s over.

How to Draw a Crowd
👉 Yes—I can draw the whole family - Gender Reveal Party Caricature (Mobile, AL)
Most parties have everything they’re supposed to have…
Food. Drinks. Music.
And still… people end up scrolling on their phones.
The difference between a party that’s just “nice”…
and one people actually talk about?
You need something that pulls people in.
That’s exactly what my party caricatures do.
As a live caricature artist, I don’t just draw people…
I draw a crowd.
-
Someone sits down to be drawn
-
A few people stop to watch
-
Then more gather
-
Then laughter starts
And suddenly…
you’ve got a full-on energy hub in the room.
It’s not background entertainment.
It becomes the center of your party. In a Good Way.
And while I’m drawing a crowd…
I’m also creating personalized party gifts your guests take home.
So instead of favors that get left behind…
they leave with something personal, fun, and unforgettable.
Caricatures are Bucket List Items. At nearly every event, I hear at least one person say, "I'm going to put this in the car so nothing happens to it."
You don't hear that with koozies.
That’s how you turn an ordinary party into something people actually remember.
Children’s Entertainment
That Actually Engages Kids
When it comes to children’s entertainment, not all options are created equal.
Kids don’t just want something to watch…
they want to be part of it.
That’s why my party caricatures work so well for kids’ parties and events—
They’re interactive, exciting, and give every child something special to take home.
A Natural Fit for Kids’ Parties & Themed Events
I love themed events—and kids do too.
Whether it’s princesses, superheroes, beach parties, or something totally unique, I can tailor the experience to match your theme and make each drawing feel like part of the celebration.
An Artist with a Teaching Background
Before becoming a full-time caricature artist, I studied education—and I’ve spent over 10 years teaching art to kids.
-
Homeschooling my own children for over a decade
-
Teaching at Explorers Homeschool Co-op (both littles and teens)
-
Leading art programs at the Daphne Library
-
Working with churches, youth groups, and private events
That experience shows in how I interact with kids—patient, encouraging, and able to meet them right where they are.

Great with Kids of All Abilities
I’m especially comfortable working with children of all personalities and needs.
As a mom of three neurodiverse kids (and someone with ADHD myself), I understand how to create a space where kids feel safe, included, and excited to participate.
Many parents mention in their reviews how patient and engaging I am—and that means everything to me.
Why Kids Love It
(and Parents Do Too)
-
It keeps kids engaged (not on their tablets or phones)
-
It works for a wide range of ages (If you're looking for birthday ideas for teens, this is it!)
-
It adds structure and excitement to your party
-
It's a great STEAM Activity
-
Kids can pick their favorite cartoon body, fostering autonomy
-
It gives them a personalized party gift to take home.

What Sets My Party Caricatures Apart
Not all party caricatures are created equal.
If you’ve ever seen ones that all look the same, or don't look like the person … or honestly just mean…
You already know the difference matters.
Dude, where's my FACE?
Here’s what makes my Party Caricatures different:
✔ Flattering (This is a BIG one)
Your guests will actually like how they look.
I focus on capturing personality—not exaggerating people into something unrecognizable or embarrassing.
✔ Fast (20–30 guests per hour)
Most artists draw 10–15 people per hour.
I draw nearly double that—which means more of your guests get to participate and take one home.
✔ Professional (27+ years of experience)
I’ve worked everything from backyard parties to high-end events and Las Vegas venues.
I know how to read the room, keep things moving, and fit seamlessly into your event without disrupting it.
✔ Interactive (Not just “someone in the corner”)
This isn’t quiet background art.
It’s a live experience your guests watch, laugh at, interact with, and talk about all night.
✔ Keepsakes Guests Actually Keep
No throwaway favors here.
Your guests leave with custom party caricatures they’ll hang up, save, and remember your event by.
The Extras Most Artists Don’t Offer
Caricatures for themed events are one thing I offer that few other artists offer. This is due to my speed. Without that, this type of drawing isn't possible. But I have hundreds of bodies memorized and can make them up on the fly. Perfect for themed events!
This is where things get really fun.
✔ Themed Party Caricatures
Planning a themed party? I can match it—Mardi Gras, beach, decade themes, characters… you name it.
✔ Groups & Full Families
Not just one or two people. I can draw couples, kids, and full families together—on larger paper so it actually looks amazing. Most artists won't TOUCH this.
✔ A Gallery of Your Guests
After your event, you’ll receive photos of the caricatures I created—so you can see everyone who was drawn.
It’s like getting a behind-the-scenes look at your own party.
Most people remember their party.
You’ll actually get to see it again.
Bottom line?
You’re not just hiring someone to draw.
You’re getting live entertainment, energy, and something your guests will genuinely love.
