Thank you for visiting my profile page. I am a professional fine artist with over 30 years of experience in cutting silhouettes (profile portraits in cut paper) and in drawing caricatures from quick live sittings. Your guests will leave with a custom heirloom to enjoy forever: their likeness, which can be personalized for your big day.

I travel anywhere the client will cover my travel expenses and accommodations. This has resulted in just the past year alone in bookings in Seattle, Washington, Florida, Maryland, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Toronto, Ottawa and New Brunswick, Canada!

Having a live artist at your reception or event lends an elegant artistic touch and wows your guests, making the day especially memorable. The will never forget your affair. The process is highly entertaining to watch, while portraits quickly emerge as if by magic, using just scissors or pen.

I have extensive experience at weddings, corporate events, private parties, proms, project graduations, bar and bat mitzvahs, reunions, fundraisers, galleries, craft shows, museums, and historical society functions, as well as aboard international cruise ships.

I particularly enjoy working at weddings, knowing that we have something special to add to one of the most important days in a couple's lives. Most frequently I do the bride and groom ahead of time so their portraits can be on display, framed, at the reception.

I look forward to speaking with you soon and welcome all your questions. Since our goal is to exceed your every expectation, you'll find me agreeable, adaptable and very hard working. Just phone toll free any time to discuss your vision for your event.
