FASHION FLAIR

My illustrations capture guests in a bold, elegant style inspired by high-fashion sketches. Working with smooth, expressive watercolour brushstrokes, I portray each guest naturally - no need for posing. Instead, I interpret their essence through my artistic lens, transforming them into sophisticated works of art.

WEDDINGS
&EVENTS

Whether it is an event or a wedding, these individual sketches are a unique way to document your celebration in a stylish and original way. ‍‍ ‍

Having a live artist at your celebration infuses the atmosphere with creativity and joy - it’s an experience that delights guests as they watch their portraits come to life, brushstroke by brushstroke.

Each illustration becomes a heartfelt keepsake, a timeless reminder of the magic shared on your day.

  • J’ai adoré collaborer avec Viola. C’est une personne à la fois humaine, talentueuse et patiente. En résumé, tout ce que l’on peut demander pendant la préparation d’un mariage et le jour-J. Les invités étaient impressionnés de ces illustrations, celles faites avant le mariage pour le faire-part et aussi durant le jour J (live illustration, cocktail menu et autres). J’ai hâte des futurs évènements que nous ferons pour travailler avec Viola à nouveau!
