About the Artist
Sketch event at Polo Ralph Lauren, 2023
Welcome and thank you for visiting! My name is Jenny and I am a California-based artist and live event illustrator working in both traditional and digital media.
As a Live Event Illustrator I am available for portrait, pet, and figure sketching at parties, weddings, birthdays, and corporate events both locally and nationwide.
As a painter I’ve worked with clients worldwide on commission projects ranging from portraits to murals to illustration and character design.
My favorite projects involve nature and the human form, and finding ways to remix the two. Stylistically, I am in love with the bold line, texture, and color traditions of animation, comics, and murals, and aim for work with similar high contrast.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
“Jenny was wonderful to work with! She was quick to respond and professional. Everyone loved their portraits, and she even drew a group portrait at the end without us knowing. It turned out amazing! Needless to say, you need to hire Jenny for your next event. :)”
“Just threw my kids sibling birthday party and Jenny made everything so special. Not only were her portraits AMAZING but she has to be one of the most kindest people i have ever met! At the party parents kept coming up to me after their portraits, to tell me how nice and talented she was. Also when she first arrived (early I may add, to set up - which i was super impressed with!) my daughter went up to her totally interested in all her drawing materials and she took the time to sit with my daughter and draw and chat with her. I totally whole heartedly, 100% recommend Jenny for portraits. She is so incredible and we all felt lucky to have met her.”
“[Jenny] was the best addition to our party! . . . She asked each person what they felt comfortable with before she drew them. She also drew special requests . . . She even drew a picture in memory of my Dad. . . I would absolutely hire her again! She was so easy to work with, friendly, funny, accommodating, and she has incredible art skills . . . Thanks again Jenny!”
“Jenny’s artwork was stunning! She was a key part in our event being a huge success!”
“Jenny was an absolute gem to work with & is incredibly talented. Her artistic vision, creativity, and ability to deliver are all top notch. She produced a beautiful comic strip for me (on a rush order, I might add) that exceeded all expectations. She is a great communicator as well, and always kept me informed throughout the process. An easy hire & look forward to working with her again!”
“Jenny was absolutely terrific she totally captured the essence of what I needed as a caricature I would highly recommend her for any artwork”
“Words cannot express how talented and professional Jenny is! She turned a blank canvas - a Little Free Library - into a thoughtful, vibrant and inviting tribute to my past and present furry family members . . . From start to finish, Jenny was collaborative in the design process . . . She was a pleasure to work with and I am fortunate enough to be using Jenny on another project which is going equally as well . . . The day Jenny delivered the library, I literally cried. It was exactly what I wanted and a touching tribute to my pet family.”
“[The playroom mural] looks wonderful! You’re a fabulous artist. Thank you so much for taking on our project. ”
