live artist for corporate retreats
add a unique blind contour portrait booth to your next off-site event
what is a blind contour portrait?
A blind contour portrait is a hand-drawn sketch created by an artist who keeps their eyes on the subject rather than the paper, drawing in one continuous line without lifting the pen.
The process is often described as unbelievable or magical, and the technique results in playful, expressive, and imperfectly charming portraits that capture the essence and personality of the subject in a spontaneous and surprising way.

Unique
Blind contour portraits offer a truly unique alternative to standard live art at corporate retreats, blending creativity and spontaneity to create playful, expressive sketches that capture the energy and personality of your team. With few artists offering this distinctive style, it’s an exclusive way to impress attendees with an experience they’ve likely never seen before.

“I felt witnessed and appreciated. It’s intimate in the sense that there's vulnerability between the artist and the subject. There’s fun in it too, because neither person knows how it's going to turn out. It’s a few minutes journey that we go on together, and the destination is a surprise.”

“Allison Kunath SEES you. While steadily holding your gaze she traces your angles, contours, shapes, and, light. It’s a joy to be seen in this way and a delight to discover what she has created when she finally lifts her pen. I treasure my Allison Kunath blind contour portraits more than any photograph or painting that has been made of me.”

"My time sitting with Allison was serene, it was at once satisfying to see the image come together from her hands, and offered me a chance to breathe and connect with myself, surrendering and allowing myself to be perceived."
