Clare Willcocks

Live wedding and event illustration in Devon and Cornwall

Welcome! I’m Clare, a live event illustrator working throughout Devon, Cornwall and further afield. I offer a range of services, including live wedding guest portraits, detailed and realistic ceremony paintings, and beautiful candid sketches of your event or wedding.

Bringing your event to life through the medium of original art, I offer unique wedding entertainment for couples who want to treat their guests and themselves to an experience to remember.

I specialise in the ‘live’ aspect of live wedding painting – I have guests pose in front of me, and over the duration of a short chat, I paint a portrait that captures their essence – each one recognisable and full of character. Of course, I can also paint from photos if that better suits your event. As I enter my fifth year of being a live wedding artist in Devon and Cornwall, I have heaps of experience working at different venues, to different schedules and adapting my process and packages for each event.

If you’re looking for unique wedding entertainment or alternative wedding favours, find out more about my live event illustrator services here:

In addition to my work as a live portrait artist, I also teach watercolour painting, and work on fine art pieces in my home studio in North Devon. I am inspired by the beautiful coast around my home in Westward Ho!. Using oils, gouache, ink and watercolour, I create realistic yet painterly pieces of art.
