About Me

Hi, I’m Megan — a professional live illustrator with over 7 years of experience capturing life’s most meaningful moments in real time and a professional fine artist for over 10 years.

From weddings and private parties to corporate events, conferences, product launches, and brand activations, I bring a unique artistic flair to every occasion. My fast-paced, characterful sketches don’t just document the day — they tell its story.

What I Do

Much like a reportage photographer, I discreetly observe and illustrate people, objects, and fleeting moments as they happen — live, on location. The result? A collection of original artworks that capture the energy, emotion, and essence of your event.

Whether it’s a heartfelt wedding ceremony, a buzzing TED talk, or a vibrant brand launch, my illustrations offer a creative, unforgettable layer to your guest experience.

Why Hire a Live Illustrator?

Live illustration is more than entertainment — it’s a way to:

  • Engage and delight guests with something unique

  • Add an artistic and thoughtful touch to your event

  • Walk away with bespoke, one-of-a-kind artwork you’ll treasure

Guests love watching the scenes details and event moments come to life — and you’ll love the finished collection of vibrant, personal pieces.

A Bit About Me

I studied at Central Saint Martins in London and have spent years honing my craft as both an artist and illustrator. I adore drawing, and I’m always humbled to be invited to sketch such meaningful life moments — whether it's a wedding, a gala, or a product launch.

My style is expressive, lively, and instantly recognisable. I draw quickly and sensitively, tuning into the energy of the event to create illustrations that feel alive. I work in fine pen and ink or more expressive inky painterly style.

What to Expect

I typically draw on A4 heavy weight watercolour paper, creating 2–4 illustrations per hour. After the event, I add vibrant watercolour touches in my studio to bring each piece to life.

I will happily go smaller or larger scale suit your vision. I have also been known to paint bespoke crockery, murals and also hand painted tablecloths. You name it I’ll probably be able to draw on it!

You’ll receive:

  • All original drawings beautifully packaged in a luxury gift box

  • Access to high-resolution digital scans via a private online gallery

  • A flexible process tailored to your event’s unique vibe and schedule

Where I Work

I’m based in Margate, Kent, and regularly travel across the UK and beyond for events of all sizes — from intimate gatherings to major corporate functions.
