Body Crystals & Caricatures for Bloomingdales

NYSketches provided body crystal artists & caricature artists to several Bloomingdales locations around the Tri- State area to celebrate Bloomingdales Shopping Benefit- a multi charity event.  The body crystals artists were stationed in the Bloomingdales’ Private Label Aqua department of each store.  Here are some photos from the event:

Commissioned Caricature

I recently completed a commissioned caricature as a ‘just because’ gift for a client’s friend.  The woman in the caricature LOVES NY, has homes in NYC, NJ & FLA, loves giving gifts (see gift list), dinner parties, baking, and her home is decorated in black and white- hence the black and white caricature! Here’s a photo of the framed caricature portrait, taken in my studio (you can see my window’s reflection in the glass!):

Passover Seder Event Mural

I worked on an event mural at a Passover Seder along with NYSketches artist, Elizabeth Hutchinson.  The client provided us with photos of 10 of their guests, and photos of past seders at their house so that I could get an idea of the event decor.  I painted the background and 10 faces before the party.  At the dinner party, Elizabeth painted the additional 15 faces, and guest really enjoyed seeing themselves on canvas!  After the party I completed the painting with final touches.  Here it is:
