Ives Wong

Ives Wong draws your guests while they watch. Working live at Melbourne weddings, brand activations and events, she sketches full portraits in six to ten minutes depending on how many people are in the frame, catching faces and the cut of an outfit at the same time. Classically trained for over 15 years, and it shows in the linework. Each piece is finished and sealed on the spot, so people go home with something real rather than a phone photo. The queue tends to become its own bit of entertainment, all smiles and giggles while people wait their turn. She needs a sheltered spot with decent light and a power point.
