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.

Keep Dreaming with a New Start

    Blog post Jan 19, 2015

    Happy New Year!! We can always start new. Traditionally, the first of the yearis the time for a fresh new start. It's January 2015 and I'm ready for some new habits.

    I'll begin with the title of my blog. Sylhouettes by Sylvia and more. When I began this blog, I'll admit; I thought of so many things to write about, which included more than just writing about silhouette art. Silhouettes were introduced to me at a very young age. I had the privilege to have the opportunity to learn from someone who had a passion to carry on an art that was important enough to her to share with others and eventually she became my mentor. Over the years I realized I too, want to share the art from my own experiences. One of my new habits for 2015 will be to post much more regularly.

    Today we celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. and his famous "I have a dream speech" in 1963 still carries a strong message today.  Martin Luther King's dream is still alive. I thank Martin Luther King Jr. for the opportunities that became available for many. He worked hard for his dream and lost his life for his dream. We continue to carry the torch and pass on his dream. Share his dream with others by fulfilling your dreams and creating a path for others to follow.

    My dreams continue to be fulfilled personally and professionally. Through my art and the opportunities I've experienced. Sylhouettes by Sylvia is pleased to have received several awards and recognition in the past. In 2010 and 2011, Sylhouettes by Sylvia received Gigmasters Rising Star Award. In 2011, Sylhouettes by Sylvia received recognition as a 5-Star Performer. It's wonderful and fulfilling to be recognized as a Gigmaster 5-Star Performer since 2011. My efforts are entirely motivated by sharing my talent as an artist and It's even more rewarding to receive my third Rising Star 2014 Award and Gigmasters Best of 2014 Award in my Category. Thank you, Gigmasters.com for making my dreams come true and for those who appreciate it.

    -Sylvia-
