Live Event PainterAbout Aya Illustration
From weddings and corporate events to private functions and brand launches, our live illustration service provides guests with a personalised keepsake they'll cherish. The process is seamless and engaging: we take a quick reference photo of your guests, allowing them to continue enjoying the event while we create custom illustrations behind the scenes. Each illustration is created from scratch, completely freehand, on A5 watercolour paper with watercolour paints and inks.
Aya Illustration pays great attention to detail when depicting guests—their poses, facial features, mood, and clothing—resulting in artwork that is both beautiful and elegant.
Later, guests return to our beautifully presented gallery setup to collect their finished portrait — a memorable and elegant takeaway that enhances their overall experience.
Please, note: Availability - weekends only!

Our Story
Hi, I’m Zhanna,
and I’m a live event artist with a deep passion for drawing that has
been with me since childhood. My love for art led me to pursue a BA
in Illustration at Falmouth University.
Five years ago, I embarked on another illustration course, which introduced me to live event illustration.
After leaving university, I focused on crafting skills of speed drawing, portraiture, experimenting with different media and styles through self teaching as well as attending professional masterclasses and private illustration courses .
My love for drawing is the force leading to this day, yet what also makes me happy is meeting new people and seeing them happy.
I founded Aya Illustration to offer people a unique and stylish experience that elevates their special occasions like weddings, birthday parties or brand launches .

Our Team
I work together with my assistant, Alper—who is also my son. He helps with photographing guests and creating social media content.
Experience
I’ve been drawing my whole life, and much of what I’ve learned has come from my own curiosity and self-teaching. This passion eventually led me to study Illustration at Falmouth University. Along the way, I’ve also taken a number of private illustration courses to keep growing as an artist.
