FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I have a standard hourly rate for caricature events within the Baltimore area. I have a standard hourly fee for face painting events within the Baltimore area. Mileage beyond Baltimore is charged for travel expenses.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I consult with the customer regarding specifics of their event i.e. theme, colors, characters, etc. over the telephone or through email. I confirm a telephone number where the customer can be reached the day of the event. I research through a map app the route which expedites time traveling. I bring business cards with me to the event to provide for additional booking requests from guests. I thank my client and advise what size mat and frame would provide protection for the caricature.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am an art teacher in Baltimore City, and draw every day with the students I teach. Lesson objectives include the Elements of Art - line, shape, color, value, texture, form ; and Principles of Design - balance, pattern/rhythm, texture, space, emphasis, proportion/scale, contrast, movement. I am able to constantly assess and infuse my caricatures with new innovative styles.
