Silhouette portraits are symbolic of family, celebration and an era of elegance, and simpler times

At first you may find this not much different than most blogs. But if you read on, you will join me on my journey which includes my family, places I visit, and people I meet. I am very grateful to share my art and consider it an honor to give something to people who have never seen how a silhouette is created or even had their silhouette done before. I love hearing the stories of those who may have posed for a silhouette years ago, at their elementary school, fair, or an amusement park. Some have shared, they still have their silhouette framed and hanging on their wall at home or their mom's wall. Others say it's in a scrapbook or put away in a box. What amazes me, is these stories always come from a good place and people cherish them and hold on to them for many years.
Silhouette art is unique and fun.

Slow start to a the new year 2011


Got the flu right off the bat to start off the New Year 2011. Got better, got sick again, so things slowed down for me physically and productively. Me slowed down, couldn't go any faster than slow or not at all. Had good plans to get off to a jump.
So now it's March and I am finally feeling better with some aches and pains. But I think I am going to get it going now??? My computer got sick and crashed too. Ughh! But to look at the bright side of things. I had to get a new one. How did I pull that one off? And did I? And during all of this, I also got an award from Gigmasters my booking site. Rising Star Award 2010 for my category Silhouette Artists. Never expected it. So here's to awards and a little boost for the not so good start. Worth all my efforts in trying to stay healthy and keep up with my life.
