Live Portrait Artist in New York for Luxury Events
I’m Véronique Jacquart, a French portrait artist based in New York and working between the United States and France. I draw live portraits for luxury brands, corporate events and private celebrations.
Using my iPad, I sketch your guests during the event and print each portrait on fine-art paper. Everyone leaves with a personal keepsake.
Live Portraits in New York
I draw each guest in my fashion illustration style, paying attention to their expression, outfit and accessories. A color portrait takes around 10–12 minutes, while a monochrome portrait takes about 7 minutes.
A Background in Fine Arts and Fashion
My training in fine arts and my background in fashion and textile design shape my approach to portraiture. I combine traditional drawing skills with digital tools, adapting my style to each guest and occasion.
On-Site Printing and Personalization
Each portrait is drawn live on my iPad and printed on site on museum-quality art paper. I bring my drawing and printing equipment; all I need is a table, a chair and a power outlet.
Your logo, brand colors or selected accessories can be incorporated into the artwork. After the event, you also receive the digital portraits.
