Holiday caricatures for a law firm luncheon...

 This firm has had me draw for them in the past, so it was nice to see some repeat faces  a few years later!

Ready to draw!! It was my last event before Christmas ( but not my last of the year!)

When I left they were happily playing games! happy holidays!

Staff appreciation caricatures, just before everyone went home for the holidays!

 My local institution of higher learning, the University of Delaware, held a party for their food-service staff right before the Christmas break...they invited me....and it was huge FUN!

Oooh, so close!! I love when clients make signs for me, even if they are misspelled!  (LOL-when we got married. my husband told me many, MANY folks would write "Burn" or "Bryne" even he spelled it aloud for them...and he's right!

I have this sign hanging up in my studio now. :-D

Now for some holiday-clad party participants!

As always, thanks for having me! Go Blue Hens!

FABULOUS Ugly-Christmas-Sweater + birthday party, soooo fun for caricatures!

Even the bathrooms were decorated for this one! And why a bathroom photo? Because here, you can see MY Ugly Christmas Sweater in all its glory!

This party was so thoughtfully planned:

Here's the Birthday Boy and his wife!

and some of the guests:

Thank you for having me! I hope the Birthday Boy having a Christmas-time birthday party made him feel doubly-special!

His wife, my client, left this feedback for me on Gigsalad:

Emily is FABULOUS!!!

Emily was incredible !! She made my husband's 60th a great night! All my guests loved her,

and loved her interpretation of them as a caricature !!
I would recommend her for any event!

 And she already has! Thank you Kelly!!!!

This was the view of the venue when I left, wow---gorgeous!

A very happy 7th birthday party, with caricatures of all the kids!

Happy birthday to this young man, whose December birthday was celebrated at a cool restaurant with all kinds of activities to enjoy (including my caricatures!) He wanted to be drawn BOXING!

I drew just kids at this one, and there were ALOT, so not many photos were taken. Then I had to hightail it to another event later that day!

I love being in new-to-me venues. Thanks for having me!

Senior-citizen holiday caricatures, for a treasured long-term client...

 Senior-living residences LOVE caricatures...and I love doing them there! It's fun not only for my subjects, who love to tell me where they got caricatures done when they were young, ( THE BOARDWALK) but also for their families who may come in later and see their loved one's cute new caricature!

The Activities Director here has utilized my skills for going on fifteen years now, at a couple of different places. Thank you for your loyalty!!!! :-)

 

Below is how I looked to them that day! (Hubby took a photo before I left :-)

Merry Christmas!!

Silhouettes at holiday corporate cocktail party

Silhouettes are inherently elegant...as they distill someone's likeness to its simplest form. And the process is amazing to watch! So when I connected me with this client, they opted to have me cut them at a very nice holiday cocktail party in a restaurant...here are some images from my evening.

My set-up:

The silhouette artist!

And the silhouettes:

This restaurant definitely had some surreal wallpaper in the ladies room:
