Planning 2015

We are already in the last week of January. This month seemed to go quickly for me. Sylhouettes by Sylvia has been busy planning for the year ahead and several event dates are already booked for 2015. This month started off slow and ended with a bang! Even though, we still have one weekend my calendar is free. I'm not booked. However, I do have plans to garden and prepare my backyard to plant veggies for the spring and summer months.


Wedding receptions and birthday parties are the bulk of my gigs. The first event booked this year was a wedding reception for Marie + Jose at the Sky Room in Long Beach, CA.  Built in 1926 in the city of Long Beach, CA the Art-Deco style also has some celebrity history which included Elizabeth Taylor, Clark Gable, Babe Ruth and other celebrities.   The views are magnificent. You can see the Long Beach Shoreline, the Queen Mary sitting in the Port of LA and on a clear day you can even see Catalina Island. To the north, on a clear day you can see all the way to the San Gabriel Mountains. At night or during the day, it's a spectacular view. The Sky Room staff invited me to join the preferred vendor list. Sylhouettes by Sylvia will participate in future "Bubbles and Bride" events held each month for engaged couples to attend. I'm looking forward to a lasting relationship  Sky Room. I'm grateful for the opportunity.


I'm always very pleased and excited when industry peers appreciate my work and invite Sylhouettes by Sylvia to participate at their exclusive events The biggest compliment is when I'm asked to join their efforts reaching out to potential clients.

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.
