Lauren Muney creates silhouette portraits that look like the sitter. They are not done in a stylized form – they are created in a true- to-life representation, although always flattering: silhouettes can’t show wrinkles!
There are just a handful of silhouette artists in the United States; each artist has his/her own style, and many artists are stylized. Silhouettes By Hand makes every effort to create an authentic, personality-filled representation that shows the actual features of the sitter. Customers have been able to pick out their favorite features, or even tell the difference between twins – just from their silhouette portraits.
As Lauren’s style has progressed, she has developed two styles:
- a modern style, perfect for people looking for a modern, flattering portrait (the portrait ends at the base of throat)
- a historical style, for those looking for the stylings of portraits from the 18th and 19th centuries (the portrait can include the top of the bosom or chest)
Event requests:
Events can amaze their own guests their special event or facility. Silhouettes are faster and more elegant than caricatures, and the guest takes home a beautiful reminder of his/her special day. Contact Lauren with your event ideas to get an information sheet, and arrange for custom quote for your event.
Individuals and Mail-Order:
Individuals can visit Lauren at her numerous events for a live sitting, or create a memorable heirloom from your own home by making a mail-order.
