Live event illustration transforms any occasion into an immersive, memorable experience for guests. Whether it is a luxury brand activation, a corporate reception or an exclusive wedding, a bespoke portrait or artwork created on the spot is a talking point that guests genuinely treasure.

Claire Jones is a London-based live event illustrator at home in Mayfair, Chelsea, Knightsbridge and beyond, regularly working with luxury brands and five-star venues across the capital.
She works in a range of traditional media including pencil, watercolour and marker pen, as well as digitally using Apple Pencil on iPad, capturing guests, garments, accessories and florals in 10 minutes or less.

Live illustrations for your guests are not only lovely keepsakes for them, but make for compelling social media content if you are looking to extend reach beyond the event itself. Guests love sharing their portraits online, creating organic reach for your brand at the moment it matters most.

Guests can pose for their portrait, be sketched as they mingle, or Claire can work from photographs taken at the event.
For brand activations and retail events, bespoke customisation of glass, leather, fabric and product packaging is also available, alongside logo printed or custom designed paper to keep every detail on brand.

Claire holds full public liability insurance and can scale to any event size, providing a curated team of professional illustrators where larger guest numbers require it.
