Throughout her life she has returned to the antique art of Silhouette portraits, creating classic keepsake Silhouettes, in Paris, Tokyo, Boston, St. Augustine, and various tourist attractions and events. She is known for the quality of her work, capturing not only a likeness but often a personality. With attention to the smallest details, from paper & scissors, memories are made to last.
