We were absolutely thrilled to have Nicky Johnston at our special event as our live guest illustrator. She communicated regularly and was prompt. Nicky brought such a warm and creative energy to the evening, and her talent truly amazed everyone. Watching Nicky work was fascinating as she captured the essence of each guest so beautifully in her charming watercolour portraits. Every illustration felt personal and full of character.
Guests loved receiving something unique and memorable and the excitement when each finished piece was revealed was priceless. By the end of the night, everyone walked away with a stunning keepsake, carefully packaged and ready to treasure.
