live portraiture

This is my favourite public-facing work! I usually do this at council-run festivals and events.

How it works: Patrons can approach me to sit for a portrait, and after bit of Q and A and some banter as I draw, they leave with a bright and original picture of themselves. Because I run this as a performance and not a stall, they keep their portraits free of charge.

Previous clients of this service include Paddington Library and Woollahra Gallery. I’ve also done this recently at Un[contained] Festival for Georges River Council in 2022 - Here’s a look (and thanks to Philip Ma for the Photography).
