live portraits

“Having Suze at our holiday party is what made the event feel incredibly personal and special for our employees. It was beyond our expectations, our team loved it, and they were able to bring a piece of artwork home. I can not recommend booking Suze enough.” ~ Emily, Notion

If you’re planning an event and looking for an original experience to delight your guests or team, I can help! My live portraits bring visual impact & creative energy to any event and are an icebreaker and a talking point for people to feel seen, connected and celebrated.

My experience includes creating live portraits for organizations including Notion, Altitude Summit and at Renegade Craft Fair, as well as corporate events, boutique parties and wellness gatherings.

THE PORTRAITS

An individual portrait sketch takes me 5-7 minutes. Guests stand around 6 feet from me as I sketch them live. They can then relax as I create their final portrait using pen and ink, or in my signature papercut style.

Portraits can be given directly to guests in customized gift envelopes to take away, or added to a gallery wall for collection at the end of the event.

To complement your event’s creative direction & brand aesthetic, I can design a bespoke portrait space & signage, as well as a live gallery wall that becomes a living art installation throughout the event.

TESTIMONIALS

“Suze is an absolute gem of an artist and a beautiful soul. It was a dream to co-create magic with her at our meditation vision boarding event. Her handmade portraits are one of a kind and our guests were raving about the personalized experience.”
~ Christine Lu Singh, Breathwork & Meditation Coach

“I first met Suze as an invited artist at a conference. She was hired as a featured artist to do papercut portraits. The line was always so long and she was in demand so I felt so lucky to have had the opportunity to actually get a piece. She juggled the crowd like a pro and her set up was gorgeous. She was professional x quick - I honestly couldn’t believe the turn around time!”
~ Dawn Laing

“No skin tone, no body parts… and still, there’s no question about who this is. She also hand painted pink and blonde highlights in my hair. I am in awe of the pure talent of women and this special piece is a reminder of that; one that I’ll always treasure. Also this gal is ridiculously humble. Pure f*king talent and such a delight.”
~ Cyndie Spiegel, Author & Alt Summit Keynote Speaker

"It's amazing that she's captured my essence even when my face is not evident in the portrait. Suze's heart and how she makes her subjects feel about themselves while sitting for her makes me feel like she is one of the best out there."
~ Aggie Armstrong, Artist & Creative Entrepreneur
