FAQs for Hatty Pedder Live Event Artist

Live Event Artist in London – Hatty Pedder
I'm a London-based live event artist and illustrator, creating expressive live guest portraits and atmospheric live event paintings for luxury brand launches, fashion shows, corporate events and private parties. Working in real time, I capture the people, mood and character of each event, creating bespoke artwork that becomes part of the experience and a lasting keepsake afterwards.

Live Event Portraits

I create expressive and spontaneous live event portraits and live guest portraits, capturing each guest with a flattering, artistic flair and creating a personal keepsake to take home. Each portrait takes just 4-8 minutes and is created in ink and watercolour - or even coffee or wine for an unexpected twist.

Live Event Paintings

I create large-scale live event paintings at luxury brand launches, gala dinners, fashion events, private parties and weddings. Working in real time, I capture the people, atmosphere and distinctive details of the occasion in my bold, mixed-media style, with a number of recognisable key guests or hosts incorporated into the finished artwork.

From Claridge's and Mayfair launches to celebrations at The Dorchester, each painting develops throughout the event for guests to enjoy and becomes a unique, lasting artwork for the client to keep.

Live Event Customisation

I create bespoke live event customisation for luxury brands, personalising perfume bottles, bags, hats and other products with hand-drawn initials, motifs and illustrations. Created live at the event, each piece becomes a unique gift and a memorable part of the guest experience.

I've created live customisation for brands including Cartier, Dior, Jimmy Choo and Christian Louboutin, at events in London and internationally.

Event Collateral

I create bespoke illustrated event collateral, from invitations, menus and illustrated maps to venue artwork, packaging and branded materials. Each element can be designed to work together, carrying the same visual story from the first invitation through to the event itself and creating a cohesive, memorable experience.

Fashion Shows

With a background in fashion illustration, I capture the drama, movement and atmosphere of the runway through fluid live drawing. I sketch models, backstage moments and VIP guests in real time, creating elegant, fashion-led artwork as the show unfolds.
