Painted in the Regency style, the silhouette I cut during last night’s live IGTV sitting.

A set of three silhouettes I cut to illustrate an article I wrote for Taimyo Magazine on the challenges and opportunities of teaching Shintaido over Zoom.

I’ve always thought that pregnancy makes a great subject for silhouette, so was delighted to be asked to cut silhouettes at a “baby shower” Zoom event on Tuesday.

Great to meet so many well dressed ladies from the US, Canada and Germany last night. I know I can’t make up for missing Venice this year, but the Zoom silhouettes were a lot of fun.

Happy Valentine!

A commission to make a portrait of Australian author Randolph Stow, outside his Suffolk home. This was for his biographer.

Here are all my portraits from the inaugural International Silhouette Artists Convention which took place online last weekend. I was very happy to be part of it!

This small group of Instagram aficionados were my last silhouettes of 2020.
