Today I thought I’d share my top three live sketching events because it’s a question I get asked pretty often when explaining my job to people. Some events are memorable because of the incredible guests I'm sketching or the iconic brand I’m working with, and others because the event beginning to end was a night to remember. So without further ado and in no particular order, here are the top events of my career thus far… Ralph Lauren  I’ve live sketched custom fashion illustrations for Polo at their SoHo New York flagship and done semi-custom illustrations for events with Polo & Esqu ..read more

As a Fashion Illustrator, it can be nerve racking going into a live sketching event with a new client but this one went great beginning to end. All the managers, staff and PR team at the new TUMI Madison Ave. flagship store were a pleasure to work with and the set up they had ready for me was perfect. The guests were all thrilled to be there, and to be custom sketched by yours truly. The event went so well that the Tumi team was even gracious enough to ask me to shop the store and choose a new Tumi suitcase as a gift! I chose a beautiful carry-on sized wheely that I could use for my supplies ..read more

My friends at Copic Markers reached out a few months ago to team up with me on some summery sketches using my favorite markers, the Copic Sketch markers. I jumped at the chance to work with my favorite marker brand again and the two sketches I created were recently published on their social media pages so I thought it would be fun to share with you a little behind the scenes of these illustrations.  The team at Copic was open to anything I'd like to do as it relates to fashion illustration, my area of expertise. They provided me with a list of prompts I could use as inspiration and I cho ..read more

Ralph Lauren Mansion: Live Sketching

Live sketching custom fashion illustrations at the Ralph Lauren mansion NYC flagship store was a career highlight and even though it's been a minute I thought it deserved a highlight here. The stunning space and meticulous merchandizing have made it one of my favorite Manhattan stores for decades. I've sketched events for the brand previously under both the Ralph Lauren label and Polo but this was my first time sketching in their iconic flagship--and it did not disappoint!  The desk where they set me up to draw for the day was at the base of their notorious staircase. It's the key spot ..read more

I am so excited so be partnering Anthropologie this year to be hosting my first holiday pop-up shop of the season. I'll be selling my fashion illustration prints, hand painted ornaments, holiday cards, and as a special treat I'll also be hand painting Anthropologie candles with customers names!
