For Weddings & Private Events
Your event is a reflection of you. The flowers were chosen by you. The menu was chosen by you. The venue was chosen by you. Now imagine an illustrator among your guests — quietly, beautifully immortalizing it all on paper. Not as a keepsake. As part of the experience itself.
For Brands & Retailers
Your guests will shop, sip, and mingle. And then they’ll sit across from Elaine. Within minutes, they’re holding something they didn’t expect — an original piece of art, created just for them, paired with your brand. That’s what elevates their shopping experience.
With over two decades of experience as a fashion illustrator and live event illustrator in New York, Elaine’s work has been archived by Getty Images and featured in publications across the United States and Europe. Her clients include Christian Dior, Jimmy Choo, and Bloomingdale’s. Every event is different. Every illustration is original. Every guest leaves with something they will never throw away.
