Caricatures AND Silhouettes for DVCCC 2017

The theme for the Domestic Violence Center of Chester County's annual fundraiser was Alice in Wonderland-Through the Looking Glass, what fun! These two greeted me at the door:

I did caricatures for the first half of the night:

Below: one of the speakers was Victoria Wyeth, granddaughter of and authority on esteemed artist Andrew. She was the only person for whom I did a caricature AND a silhouette...

Then I switched to silhouette-cutting:

I saved my scraps to take home and see how my work was looking:

5th birthday caricatures!

This birthday party for a cute little girl was held at a dance club for kids! So I sat in the foyer and drew them as they were brought out to me, then all the drawings were hung on the wall. :-)

Here's the birthday girl:

and a few close-ups!

Slumber Party 11th Birthday Caricatures!

This slumber party mom had me come on Sunday morning, so I could draw the birthday girl and her guests as they enjoyed their breakfast. It was another group where I had time to do themes:

Mostly animals!!

After finishing all the girls, I got to draw the Nicky-Minaj-and-Cheerio-loving brother!

Vow renewal and reception...with caricatures!

This gentleman is one of my biggest fans on social media--- and he booked me almost a year and a half before this event. He renewed his vows with his lovely wife, on their 24th anniversary, and had a BIG celebration, and I was so delighted that my caricatures were part of it! 

I was situated in the foyer right outside the ballroom and kept busy all night:

They wanted a photo with me in it too:

Congrats to a WONDERFULLY HAPPY couple!

10th Birthday Party Caricatures at a slumber party

So I drew all her friends, with whatever theme they chose:

and her family:

Have to admit, THIS was my favorite theme!

Bat Mitzvah caricatures

My drawing spot was in a sun-filled atrium at a nice restaurant...
