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.

We can all hang out and have a cup of tea...

Well, it's the end of the month and I have been busy. I have a few photos I need to insert so I will include a couple but..... before I do. Wanted to say. I went to the OC Fair and visited the Silhouette Artist there this summer, I worked with Nancy Marie at the Queen Mary and I rather enjoy her. I worked with her before, but I didn't get a chance to hang out with her much at that time. We had a chance to really chat and get to know each other a bit. She is delightful.

Then I visited the Silhouette Studio at Disneyland a couple of times to meet with their silhouette artists. But not much a warm welcome. We chatted, but not very much. I wish that we could all be one unified artist meet up group and share stories and tips.  Since there are a few of us around this area with Disneyland and so many entertainment venues .

I have been in this business a long time and there are a handful of  silhouette artists out there are in this big world. Compared to the giant list of artists in the world of oil, water color, paint, photography, etc. I just can't seem to really build a bond with the other artists.   I don't know what it is. Is it just me?I have called on a  few artist for some favors and help now and again. We are few and see the world through a different point of view. I guess that is what makes us unique.  I still enjoy looking at their work and love having them out their loving the same thing I do. Be nice to go out and have tea one day?
