In my studio, I create still life oil paintings that celebrate the quiet beauty of everyday life... simple objects, gentle light, and meaningful moments captured in time. Each piece is a reminder to pause, feel, and find joy in the little things. (Photo: Yanni Creative)
I offer fashion-inspired illustration services, creating playful, expressive artworks for projects and brands. Whether in markers, coloured pencils, or animated digital formats, each piece brings personality and style to your story.
I’m honoured to be featured in media, including two appearances on the SBS Melbourne podcast. Here’s a collection of moments I’m proud to share from my creative journey.
Pullman hotels, Australia hosted a travelling and immersive NFT (Non-Fungible Token) art exhibition, featuring four female artists from Australia and overseas.
The digital art exhibition ran from 14 November through to 1 May 2023 launched at Pullman Sydney Hyde Park in Nov before it headed to Pullman Melbourne Albert Park (9 Jan), Pullman Adelaide (13 Feb) and Pullman Brisbane King George Square (27 Mar).
I’m currently working on a new body of art. Join my mailing list to be the first to see it and receive occasional updates from the studio.
LOVE NOTES THAT MADE MY DAY
Candy was an absolute delight to work with. She created beautiful live sketches for our event that all our guests loved! Candy also was kind enough to extend her time for us to accommodate for last minute requests. A very talented, professional artist.

I had the pleasure of working with Candy, the incredibly talented illustrator, for a wedding I planned in November, and I cannot recommend her enough! Candy worked her magic throughout the evening, creating stunning illustrations of the wedding guests. Her artistry is truly breathtaking, and her attention to detail captured the essence of each person beautifully.
Guests were in awe of her work, and many couldn’t stop talking about how innovative and unique the experience was. Candy’s talent and professionalism added an unforgettable touch to the event, creating memories that will be cherished forever. If you’re looking for a vendor who brings creativity, warmth, and unparalleled skill, Candy is the one!

Candy’s work is phenomenal! She is so professional, responsive and talented. We had Candy as a live illustrator at our wedding and she added the best element of surprise and fun to the reception. Our guests absolutely loved her; and one week on we are still receiving messages of ‘wow’ and ‘thanks’ from our guests talking about how special it was to be able to take away a personalised memento of the night. We’d recommend Candy a thousand times over!

We had a small intimate garden party wedding and Candy was the biggest surprise for our guests, who were left amazed and some even in tears of excitement. Candy brought the most calming and intimate energy to our wedding. She captured the most special memories and we now have momentums of these special memories forever. We have such gratitude for Candy and would highly recommend her for any couple seeking to add a little something extra to their wedding 🩷 Her speed and creativity of drawing was exceptional. We had a lot of guests traveling from interstate and overseas so personalized illustrations were the perfect gift for them to travel home with. Thank you once again!

I found Candy on instagram and we had her at our wedding at Coombe in the Yarra Valley in February to draw illustrations of our guests. It was such a hit and everyone loved it!! She even sent us a drawing after the wedding too and we will frame it. She was super lovely, easy to communicate with - we would highly recommend her for your special event.

Candy is just the most down to earth, positive and bubbly person. You can tell she truly loves art and creating beautiful pieces for her customers. I had the lovely opportunity to ask Candy to paint my twin sister’s PhD graduation gift. All I had to do was explain what animal I wanted and the colours I wanted as the theme and let her creative skills do the rest. I wasn’t disappointed with the final masterpiece and neither was my sister! She takes the time to understand the message and meaning behind the painting and brings art to life! Highly recommend her to all my friends and family. Thanks Candy!

It brings happiness. Everyday I look at it, it reminds me of freedom - the freedom to express. Everyone who has come to my place has extremely good comments for it, they said the colour palette was amazing. It's a really happy piece. It represents the beginning of happiness. It reminds me that freedom of expression and being happy is important for 2021 because I bought it in the new year. It feels like fresh start when I look at it everytime. I feel happy!

Candy attended my 30th birthday which was a fundraiser ball for charity. Not only is she an incredibly TALENTED artist, but also a great communicator making her a dream supplier to work with. Guests have been raving about her illustrations all week. 10/10 recommend booking her for your next event!
There's a thousand things to plan for your wedding, venue, photographers, florist, photobooth, content creator, etc, but is wedding guest illustration really worth it?!
Depends on the artist you picked, the sketches might increase in price in the future, who knows :P
I started my art journey while planning my own wedding, and now I bring that same passion to yours! As a live illustrator, I capture guests in elegant, fashion-inspired sketches as wedding favours. With years of experience at luxury and corporate events, my process is seamless, friendly and designed to elevate your wedding. Based on my experience, I would love to offer some insights on picking your best suited wedding illustrator!
Your wedding should be as unique as your love story. Surprise your guests with live, interactive artistry, something they’ve NEVER seen before and will talk about for years to come.

"I’ll never forget the little girl, Sofia, who once sketched me at an event while I was sketching her. It was a simple cute sketch, but the moment I received it, I felt special and appreciated. That feeling has stayed with me ever since."
People might not always remember what you said, but they will always remember how you made them feel.
Planning an event is all about making it special for everyone who attends. Whether it’s a brand activation, a corporate event or weddings. It’s those unique touches that make people walk away saying, “Oh my GOSHH, that was amazing.” "That's so clever!" That’s where a live illustrator comes in.
