People & Pet Portraits

Cathy draws portraits of people and pets at pop ups and for private events. Each 5”x7” original grayscale pen and ink drawing is custom made and takes about 10-15 minutes.

Check out her upcoming events for the next opportunity to get live portraits. Portraits by mail are also available, and completed artwork can be shipped anywhere in the U.S.

Booking for Private Events

Live portraits make unique, personal and memorable gifts for your guests – whether for a wedding, corporate party, or other or private event.

How it Works

  1. Guests who would like a portrait pose for a quick photo

  2. I draw while they enjoy the party!

  3. Drawings can be picked up throughout the event, and any additional portrait requests will be finished in the week following and shipped or delivered to you.

Each custom drawing takes about 10-15 minutes, depending on things like the number of people and how detailed each outfit is. Since I can only get through so many in an hour, wedding packages come with a set number of post-event portraits that I will complete in the week following the event to ensure that more of your guests that would like portraits can have them done.

Alternatively, you are also welcome to book by the hour and add extra portraits at my studio rate. If you have any questions about what package or combination would best fit your event, feel free to email itscathywu@gmail.com or share more with me in the form at the bottom of the page and I can provide multiple quote options for you to look over, or we can schedule a call to chat!
