beyond our expectations, our team loved it, and they were able to bring a piece of artwork home.
I can not recommend booking Suze enough.”

live portraits
If you’re planning an event and looking for an original experience to delight your guests or team, I’d love to help. I’ve created live portraits for organizations including Notion, Altitude Summit and at Renegade Craft Fair, and at many other corporate events, boutique parties and wellness gatherings.
My portraits bring unique visual impact & joyful creative energy to your event. Each live sketch takes me around 5 minutes and my goal is for each person I draw to feel fully seen and celebrated. I make a finished portrait from each sketch, adding to a gallery wall which always creates a hub of connection & conversation.
In planning every event, I take time to understand your values, needs and goals. From minimal monochrome ink drawings at a warehouse party in New York, to playful bold cutouts displayed at the Saguaro Hotel in Palm Springs, I tailor each experience, portrait display and artwork style to complement your brand or theme.
If you have an event that you’d like to discuss, please drop me an email hello@suzerileystudio.com or fill out the contact form with brief details and your availability to set up a quick call.
what they said…
“Suze is an absolute gem of an artist and a beautiful soul. It was a dream to co-create magic with her at our meditation vision boarding event. Her handmade portraits are one of a kind and our guests were raving about the personalized experience.”
~ Christine Lu Singh, Breathwork & Meditation Coach
“I first met Suze as an invited artist at a conference. She was hired as a featured artist to do papercut portraits. The line was always so long and she was in demand so I felt so lucky to have had the opportunity to actually get a piece. She juggled the crowd like a pro and her set up was gorgeous. She was professional x quick - I honestly couldn’t believe the turn around time!”
~ Dawn Laing
“No skin tone, no body parts… and still, there’s no question about who this is. She also hand painted pink and blonde highlights in my hair. I am in awe of the pure talent of women and this special piece is a reminder of that; one that I’ll always treasure. Also this gal is ridiculously humble. Pure f*king talent and such a delight.”
~ Cyndie Spiegel, Author & Alt Summit Keynote Speaker
"It's amazing that she's captured my essence even when my face is not evident in the portrait. Suze's heart and how she makes her subjects feel about themselves while sitting for her makes me feel like she is one of the best out there."
~ Aggie Armstrong, Artist & Creative Entrepreneur
