Caricatures by Catherine

Caricatures by Catherine I am artist based in Greenville, SC, and I have been caricaturing professionally since 2004. I am available for hire for parties and special events.
(21)

Caricaturing is basically capturing the personality and exaggerated likeness of a person in just a few quick pen strokes. Ever since I started caricaturing I've been addicted to it; I love drawing the details of a person that makes them special, and I love seeing the expressions on people's faces when they see their caricature for the first time. I've been fortunate enough to draw all across the c

ountry, from Sea World in San Antonio, to the BMW Manufacturing Company and Clemson University in South Carolina, to Green Acre Baha'i School in Maine. Currently, I spend a lot of my time drawing at local events in Greenville such as birthdays, weddings, holiday celebrations, reunions, fundraisers, etc., and I also set up my own caricaturing booth at outdoor festivals throughout the Southeast. My hourly rate depends on date (holidays and weekends or no); the range is $120-$150/hour. I accept events within a hour driving radius of Greenville SC. Sorry, I am not available to take commissions (that is: drawing from a photo) at the moment due to demand for events keeping me busy. Contact me here on FB, or email me at [email protected], to find out if I am available for your event date! �

It's been pretty busy so I'm way overdue in sharing photos! Let me make up for it by posting a few pics right now, from a gorgeous wedding I had the pleasure to draw at a couple weekends ago! ☺️❤️🎨

4 days till Father’s Day! I am not usually able to do commissions (drawings from pictures) but I fit it in for Father’s Day last year … and I kinda want to make it a thing. SO: need a last-minute Dad’s Day gift? 🎨 ❤️

I’m looking forward to drawing people as *superheroes and heroines* at Free Comic Book Day tomorrow at Not Just Gamin' in downtown Greer! (Have I mentioned I’m SO excited that they set up shop in downtown Greer recently?? I’ve been wanting a nearby game store for ages, and their store is seriously very cool and welcoming to everybody, no matter your level of game or comic geekiness!)
Anyway, hope to see you there starting at 11am!

Annnnd here’s another small installation of photos from my past few events!
I usually get caught up in drawing and often forget to document with photos…. But it was my goal of 2022 to take more photos! Proud of myself for making a good start on this, now I’ll try and post more regularly! 🤣🤷🏽‍♀️

Photo dump! A few pics from recent events. Check out Joy Set Entertainment’s amazing balloon at the end!! It been a great year y’all. No matter how crazy everything else gets, art is a beautiful escape that brings people together and that’s one reason I love doing this.

It’s always hard for me to remember to take pictures during my events because I get completely “in the zone!” But here are some I managed to snap during my past few Fall events. Happy Fall Y’all!

Happy Thursday everybody!
Thank you to the sweet wedding reception guest who took my photo and then texted it to me! It’s hard to take photos of me working when I pretty much draw (happily!) nonstop at all my events!!
Plus: an adorable doggie, a toddler in a Hazmat suit, and a group sketch.

Time to paint a tree on my kids’ bedroom wall! First pic is the newly-painted teal wall (previously it was an unfortunate mustard yellow) with post-it’s marking the center.
Next is the trunk which looks spooky without leaves.
Next pic shows my daughter stamping on a leaf, which we cut out of sponges.
Finally: the finished tree! It covers the whole wall and the girls love it! Such a fun project to do together.

LOVED drawing a pile of caricature commissions for Father’s Day! Here’s some snippets of a few that I got to draw - I’m hoping I’ll be able to do this more major holidays all year! (As schedule permits, since I stay pretty busy drawing at events.)
I draw these on real paper using real pens and color sticks - I love digital caricatures too but I find that as more and more things go digital, it’s really special to have artwork drawn hand-to-paper.

Father’s Day is THIS SUNDAY!! Who else has a dad-type-person in their lives who is hard to buy for??
I don’t usually do commissions but I have some bandwidth this week, so I’m able to offer Father’s Day caricatures!
First-come first-serve till my schedule fills up.
$15/person (drawn in black and white)
OR
$20/person (drawn in color.)
I can include a detail like a favorite hobby, and/or any text you would like. (No additional charge.)
Pickup is in Greer - the Taylor’s side of Greer - near Buena Vista Elementary.
If you aren’t within driving distance but still need it by Sunday, I can scan a hi-res copy for printing.
I would need one or more photos of the person to draw from.
FB message me if you’d like to order!
👍🏽❤️🎁🎨
