Profile Perfection


Although the art of making silhouettes has been around since the 18th Century, recently we're seeing it enjoying a comeback.....with a modern twist. The simplicity and elegance of portraying ourselves in shadow form makes these paper portraits irresistible....and just a little mysterious.

Today there are many silhouette artists making their living with sharp scissors and a lot of talent. One of my favorites is Karl Johnson who can your portray your favorite person or pooch in a modern rendering with just a touch of whimsy. Even better, you can hire Karl to come to your home for a Silhouette Party to create groovy portraits of you and your guests. Black attire is not required but it could just make this the chicest of chic gatherings.
