Hi, I’m Kayanna Clark-Downen — the artist behind Kay's Caricatures. I’m passionate about bringing smiles to people’s faces through my caricatures and pet portraits. My style is fun, lighthearted, and just a bit whimsical, always aiming to capture what makes each person (or pet) truly special.

Based in Belleville, IL, I blend my Fine Arts background with a fast and flattering cartoon style to create custom keepsakes that guests literally take home smiling. Whether I'm drawing live at weddings, parties, corporate events, or festivals — or working from photos —

I aim to make the entire experience relaxed, enjoyable, and unforgettable.

From bold, traditional caricatures to my signature soft, flattering cartoon portraits, I draw 7–10 people per hour and love including pets in the mix. My playful approach highlights the beauty in every face while keeping things light, fun, and full of heart.
