Toronto Live Event Artist: My "Bark Jacobs" Story at Holt Renfrew

This season, I had the amazing opportunity to be a featured live event artist for the celebrated Marc Jacobs "Bark Jacobs" campaign. This unique brand activation took place right here at the Holt Renfrew in Square One Shopping Centre, inviting customers to an exclusive in-store experience. After purchasing a new handbag, I would paint a custom portrait of their beloved pet directly onto the leather, live in the boutique!

The energy was incredible. For 30-45 minutes, each client watched as I transformed their new Holt Renfrew purchase into a one-of-a-kind piece of art. They shared photos, we’d chat about their pet, and I would capture that unique personality in a detailed, hand-painted portrait. It was the ultimate interactive experience, blending luxury fashion with the personal touch of live art.

This is the magic I bring to events. As a live event painter based in the Toronto and Mississauga area, I provide memorable, on-the-spot art for brand activations, corporate parties, and private events.
