Saint Laurent invited Jacqueline to illustrate guests at her last event in March 2020 before lockdown. Working on her iPad Pro, Jacqueline sketched guests, with 10 minutes per guest. Customers selected their bag, some which were purchased and were illustrated full length. The illustrations were emailed directly to the guest as well as receiving a print from Jacqueline’s portable bluetooth printer. View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize ..read more

I was so proud to be part of this amazing campaign. The t shirts were launched during New York Fashion Week this year. A difficult subject to portray in a glamorous way, Josefinas approached Jacqueline to give this serious subject a twist of elegance to help raise money for this fantastic cause. The company itself has it’s roots in empowering women- there are no heels in their collection and the shoes are absolutely beautiful- hand crafted in Portugal.

I had a large project to illustrate the scene of Bellevue- a luxury shopping mall in Seattle during the summer for their Fall 2019 runway shows. I had to fit a certain amount of figures onto the background which were also to be used independently for billboards, flyers, VIP passes and giveaway tote bags. It was a lovely job to work on and was great to finally see the printed material in September ..read more

We had the honour of illustrating guests at a grand wedding at Cliveden, a celebrity hangout in Berkshire hosting royalty and infamous guests such as Christine Keeler and Mandy Rice-Davies in the swinging Sixties- whose Profumo scandal brought down the Labour government! It was a glittering pool side evening reception, with guests, casually attired and relaxed eating and chatting whilst Kathy Wyatt and I sketched on iPads and in ink. The guests were given a choice whether to have digital illustrations emailed to them or hand drawn to take away. We were both shattered at the end of the night ha ..read more

I had great fun with the guests at a party recently, particularly as some were dressed as 1980’s pop stars like Debbie Harry, Chrissie Hind & Siouxsie Sioux who were all really good to draw! I had donated my time as ‘event illustartor’ to our local primary school, raising money at an auction, a local lady won the bid who happens to work in fashion, which made for a very colourful guest list and friends flown in from as far afield as Sydney, Australia. It was a really lovely evening and I think the drawings reflect my relaxed state ..read more

I had another wonderful day on Hampstead Heath, working with the Private Drama events team. What an amazing group of performers! Set up on the edge of their ‘big top’, I kept catching glimpses of acrobats spinning, hanging, balancing- incredible! It was a super hot day with a lovely crowd of interesting people who I drew and chatted to for 5 hours. Afterwards I even managed to catch Groove Armada for a few tracks ..read more
