Testimonials:

Marietta is fantastic! We booked a campground event in Columbia, MO with about 80 people and she drew so many wonderful caricatures. Everyone loved her addition to our Midnight Carnival themed party and they raved about how talented, funny, friendly, and professional she is. I completely agree. Everyone has such a fun time and what a fantastic souvenir to take home - one of her awesome caricatures! If you are considering booking her for your event, you most definitely should! She's got a glowing personality and an amazing talent! Book her for your event, you won't regret it! 10/1/2021 - Campground Event

She was great! This was such a hit at our wedding that we had to extend the time in order for everyone to get a drawing. The entire time Marietta was extremely nice and accommodating to everyone’s wishes. Pretty sure she didn’t stop drawing the entire time we had her and didn’t complain once. We are so pleased with this whole experience. 5/27/2022 – Wedding
