EXPERIENTIAL
LIVE ILLUSTRATION

Transforming fleeting moments into lasting legacy

paint palette

Capture the atmosphere, emotion and human connection of your event as it unfolds - preserving not just what happened, but what it felt like to be there.

Experiential Illustration is a hybrid discipline combining artistic excellence, event intelligence, and storytelling instinct. Being in the room where it happens means translating the energy and meaning of your event into visual form that endures.

The difference between an event that's reported and an event that's remembered.

Capture your defining moments 

Every event has defining moments - a connection made, an idea sparked, a feeling shared, a commitment witnessed. These moments shape how people remember your work, your mission, your love story, your impact.

 

A single photo or article can't portray the magic that only happens from being in the room. The electricity of being surrounded by brilliant people doing incredible things, or the intimacy of two families, can't be summarised by a conversion chart or a posed photograph.

For events that last once but mean everything - whether that's the retreat where your team found their direction, the wedding day you've dreamed about, or the launch that changed everything - you need more than data capturing. You need artistry. Something that transports people back to that moment with the same visceral impact as music, art, or scent.

Your experience is art. It's time to treat it like it is.

MY EXPERIENTIAL APPROACH

Art is everywhere, if you choose to see it

Experiential Illustration creates an immersive experience for every person in the room.

A quiet reflection that art is everywhere, if we choose to see it.

THIS MEANS

Capturing meaning where meaning matters - Sometimes that involves looking a little deeper than surface level, the kind of observation that comes from watching the room in the moment and searching for the ways your attendees experience it too.

Starting with your impact - When we make a dent together in the impact you're here to make, that ripples into the work created together. Experiential Illustration is tailored to your event, whether that looks like shareable imagery, bespoke merchandise to keep your message front and centre, or projected storytelling designed to captivate as the event plays out.

Finding the details you'll miss - With easel and paints positioned where it happens, capturing details you'll likely miss. The little things are often the big things - and they may just be the most memorable of all.

With art, anything is possible

CREATIVE FULFILLMENT

 Experiencing and capturing the event as it unfolds, creating a visual narrative that builds throughout the day.

Every event is unique. Your illustration experience is designed with the same intentionality you bring to every other element, defined with clarity that only comes from collaborative, bespoke work.

Projected illustrations as immersive visual experiences, merchandise that extends your message beyond the room and post-event visuals that circulate with the integrity your event deserves.

 

 

Working with archival materials and sustainable practices means your storytelling visuals have the same lasting legacy as your event itself.

THE MAGIC UNFOLDING

"The public loved her. People came over to get drawn, watch her work and ask questions and Lauren was wonderful with them all. She did not stop the entire day and everyone was so thrilled with the results."


— Albany Theatre

"She somehow managed to take all our ideas (even the half-formed ones!) and turn them into the most beautiful bespoke illustrations. In the lead-up, she was flexible with changes and kept us feeling so involved in the process. On the day itself, her live illustrations were a total highlight."


— Wedding client

"Their ability to capture the joy and emotion of the moment was remarkable."


— Wedding client

IMAGINE THIS…

Imagine the atmosphere, the emotion and experience of your event unfolding onto the page as it happens, not just in real time, but preserved for years after.

For couples, it's your wedding day captured in a way that brings back the feeling of the moment - not just how it looked, but how it felt. The nervous excitement, the joy, the love in the room.

For business leaders, it's your retreat or launch transformed into something tangible that your team can return to - a visual reminder of the breakthrough, the connection, the reason you're all doing this work.

The illustrations become reference points - visual anchors that help people recall not just the content of your event, but the feeling, the connections, the reasons it mattered. They're conversation starters, memory triggers, and tangible proof that something meaningful happened.

This is the difference between an event that's reported and an event that's remembered.
