More college welcome caricatures!

 This time it was Temple University medical, dental and pharmaceutical students, via The Bash!






Here are some roomies:


Some more groups, but some of the subjects had to leave before I could get a photo....


It was a bit warm on the way home!!!!!

My client left me some great feedback on The Bash:

 “Emily is fantastic! So good that I am in fact trying to figure out how I can incorporate caricatures in so many more of our events! I highly recommend her not only for her skill and professionalism, but she is just genuinely a great person and a joy to work with!”


Thank you for having me! :-D

College freshman welcome caricatures!

The team of EmilyArts and ArtGirl made 2024 freshman orientation way more fun with caricatures, 

at the University of Pennsylvania! 



We were so slammed I only got these four photos of my work. I drew mostly boys, and Deb drew mostly girls, for some reason!


Thanks Deb!

Company picnic/client appreciation event at Loblolly!

 




Loblolly Acres is one of my very favorite venues, so when my caricatures were booked for a company picnic in their pavilion, I was very happy! 
I've done many wedding receptions here, plus open houses and wedding fairs. It's a wonderful atmosphere there, and it's family-run by some very nice folks.

Here are a few of my caricatures from a totally beautiful day!!


There were two balloon artists there (KrisandHolly.com) who were creating masterpieces like THIS!

(She got it made while I was drawing her daughter, that's why it's not in the caricature---
I wouldn't have been able to fit it in anyway!


More caricatures!




My client sent me home with some very desirable swag...a gallon bag full of CRABS!!!!
I was very appreciative! ( And when I got home, my hubby was very surprised and appreciative too!!)
Thank you for having me!

Silhouette Wedding Reception... on the banks of the Chester River

 








This was the view from my cocktail-hour silhouette station near the pool, at a lovely wedding held at Brittland Manor near Chestertown, Maryland this past weekend. 

Here's the view of the silhouette artist! Got a good one with the timer on my Iphone!


It was just a lovely spot and the weather was perfect...so I was pleased to have gotten there early enough to enjoy some nature time before my performance time. 


The bride and groom had opted to have their silhouette done later from photos, so I concentrated on the many happy guests who were just as thrilled to be there as I was:



After cocktail hour, I moved to just outside the tent and continued to delight the guests with my silhouette artistry:





The bride and groom took advantage of the golden hour:
(And so did I by getting this photo ;-)

Thank you for having me!

Here's a link to my IG post about this evening, that ends with the song of the cicadas as I left the venue!

Quinceanera Caricatures!

 This is the second Quinceanera I have gotten to do this summer! They are so much fun and at this one I was able to see this young lady's AMAZING dress!! SO beautiful! This was my view of her before she made her grand entrance....
I had drawn caricatures at her parents wedding, and her when she was a little girl!

Her event was held in a quaint stone barn, at a bed & breakfast that was far off the main road, so it was totally secluded and perfect for celebrating with all her friends. 
(I'd actually done a Sweet 16 here some years ago)

It was a very rose gold and hot pink kind of night!
There were some guys there too!

And some parent-child duos:



Here is she is with her caricature, and me!
