Event Sketching and Live Art by Laura Baran
Elevating NYC events through live art and luxury storytelling
My live art services include:
I create on-the-spot, hand-painted fashion illustrations, portraying unique style and outfits.

I do a lot of live pet sketching sessions in the New York City area. I mostly work from photos, so pets can be pets.

I hand-paint fragrance bottles, glass candles, luggage tags, notebooks, and bags with custom art and designs.

For major brands like Louis Vuitton, I sketch digital portraits using Procreate on iPad.

ART TEACHING
I have experience leading formal and community-based art education, focusing on the intersection of creativity and personal well-being.
