Event caricatures by Edmonton artist Laurel

Drawing Caricatures is a valued addition to events! I often draw at weddings, birthday parties, and corporate gatherings. It is a lot of fun and everyone loves to see their drawings and share fun times with the group. A real keepsake

caricatures highlight what makes people unique: Edmonton Artist Laurel

How do others see you? Edmonton artist's caricatures highlight what makes people unique

Short interactions are often a joy for artist and subject.

Lucy HainesAug 10, 2021 5:00 AM

Edmonton caricature artist Laurel Hawkswell has become an in-demand party guest. Whether booked at corporate events, weddings --even day cares--the 58-year-old says she's grateful to be known as the 'caricature lady'. Though she didn't plan it that way, the energetic Albertan says she's thankful she grabbed the chance some 20 years ago when someone walked into the art store she was working at in search of a caricature artist.

Kinsmen Sports Centre Kid's Den Sign Design

I'm excited to see this sign I designed and just delivered put up at Kinsmen Sports Centre for the City of Edmonton! It will be put up soon, going into their Kid's Den play room. I love their motto, "Where Little Athletes Train". I am proud of the diversity shown in this art. This truly symbolises what Edmonton is all about. And besides, I think all the little kiddies in the art are cute!

YES I'M A FACE PAINTER

Face painting is another form of art I do! Kids love to get their faces painted. I enjoy painting on arms so that kids can see the art too. This little boy loved his T-Rex. And this girl was decked out in cool sugar skull attire and I was so excited to add to the whole look!

Caricatures by Edmonton artist Lauel: Strathearn Art Walk

It was the first time I joined in with other artists at the Strathearn Art Walk. The Strathearn community is really nice with the event held in a big green space overlooking the river valley and Edmonton's downtown skyline. There were a lot of artists and a wide variety of art for people to enjoy viewing the artist's creations. There was a beer garden, kid's crafts, food and music. I saw artists I knew and met a few more. It's hard when you have your own tent set up, to be able to get away to look around. After all, if I wasn't in my tent I couldn't do any caricatures. I also displayed some of my paintings. I haven't had much free time to paint lately which kind of frustrates me ... I'd really love more hours in the day! I look forward to next year's Strathearn Art Walk. 

Here are some of the people I drew ....

Edmonton Wedding reception Caricature gifts; Artist Laurel

A very fancy wedding with lots of things happening for their guests: dancers, photo booth and caricature artists! At big events it's often good to hire more than one of us to draw. A lot of the kids were excited to have their caricature done. The boys were sharp in their dress clothes but oh how I loved seeing all the girls in their beautiful saris! The colours, the details .... the colours! (yes I meant to write that twice).

I was surprised to get a phone call today from a girl that I'd drawn, thanking me for the caricature and saying how much she loved it and that she was going to frame it. I thought that was so sweet and such a nice thing to do.

Kiwanis Place Carnival caricatures: Edmonton Artist Laurel

I drew caricatures for the residents at Kiwanis Place during their Carnival. The weather was perfect and the Recreation Coordinator had some really neat things for everyone. The petting zoo was a huge hit and I was really busy drawing as well.

I’d never been to a senior’s residence event where there was a petting zoo and judging from the amount of people petting the animals … what a brilliant idea! Here are some of my favourites from the day. Residents and staff. The lovely lady in the hat is small in stature so it was fun to draw her down at the bottom of the paper. I think she was the one to give me the idea actually! We laughed together when I showed it to her and I got the best hug from her too! I’m thankful that one of the gentlemen took the time to take a photo of the two of us and send it to me.

 The photo of the two ladies is pretty neat because it is a mother/daughter team. Her mom is almost 104 years old. I said, “I’m sure you get tired of hearing this question but, what is your secret?” She said, “Oh, I have no more secrets!” Her daughter said, “Hard work, right mom!” Her mom was so neat to talk to! Such a great afternoon for me!
