Hand-cut silhouette portraits by commission

Started in the 1700’s as a popular alternative to expensive commissioned oil portraits, the art of silhouette cutting was the precursor to the modern day photographic portrait. Done entirely with scissors and without the aid of pen or ink, it became a favorite way of capturing family members, as well as keeping family records. This precious art form is rapidly becoming lost as only a handful of artists in the world still do it.

Ordering silhouette portraits is very easy!
