Live Fashion Illustration at the Tannery Event Centre: Celebrating Women in Tech

/

Recently, I had the pleasure of bringing my live fashion illustration setup to the Tannery Event Centre for a special International Women’s Day celebration hosted by Communitech. The room was packed with brilliant women business owners, tech innovators, and aspiring entrepreneurs.

Why Tech Leaders are Embracing Live Art

It might seem ironic for a tech event to hire a live artist, but it’s actually a brilliant move. In a world dominated by AI and digital screens, tech companies are increasingly seeking out art made by humans.

  • The Human Touch: There is a visceral connection when guests watch a portrait come to life in real-time.

  • A Moment of Stillness: Amidst a busy networking schedule, a 5-minute illustration session offers a personalized, mindful break.

  • The Ultimate Swag: a custom fashion sketch is a luxury keepsake that guests actually treasure.

Supporting Local, Women-Owned Businesses

One of the reasons Communitech brought me on board was their commitment to supporting local, women-owned businesses. As a Toronto-based artist, it was incredibly empowering to create for a community that values the "Support Local" ethos as much as they value "Scale Global."

Seeing these tech leaders celebrate manual craftsmanship reminded me that no matter how advanced our tools become, the desire for unique, handmade beauty is universal.

Event Highlights

I’ve captured the vibe, the outfits, and some of my favorite sketches from the day over on social media. Check out the Instagram Highlights here.
