WHAT DOES A SILHOUETTIST DO?
Individual guests are offered the opportunity to have a quick photo taken. It only takes a few seconds, so it's not invasive or overly demanding on the party atmosphere. I then use a tablet to hand draw a celestial portrait of your guest. The detail is unique – and your guests likeness will be instantly recognizable!
This sort of entertainment is perfect for setting a party in motion. It’s easy to organize because I am fully responsible for everything from set up to the finished product! This type of entertainment also compliments other activities – it’s fun and fascinating to watch and your guests have the pleasure of a personal framed keepsake!
I'VE NEVER HEARD OF THIS! IS IT SOMETHING NEW?
​
While silhouette artists at events are now considered a unique experience, this type of artistic entertainment became popular in the mid-18th century! It's a fun way to continue a beautiful artistic tradition in a modern way!
I'M OUTSIDE OF HAMPTON ROADS! CAN I STILL BOOK YOU?
​
Yes! My beginning rate will remain the same but travel and lodging will be added to the booking fee. For an accurate price quote, please fill out the Inquiry Form.
