JOURNAL

Hatty Pedder Live Event Artist London, at her Studio

Welcome to my journal - a little glimpse behind the scenes of life as a London-based live event illustrator and live event artist. I spend much of my time travelling across London, the UK and beyond, painting and drawing live at luxury events, weddings, fashion and brand celebrations and private parties.

From large-scale live paintings to expressive guest and family portraits, every event is completely different - which is probably what I love most about what I do. I'll be sharing some of my latest live illustration projects here, along with the people, places and stories behind them.
