The Oxfordshire Silhouette Artist - Silhouette Artist

The Oxfordshire Silhouette Artist is a trained artist who sold his first portrait at the age of 14, completed his degree in graphic design from St Martins in 1990 and has been doing portraiture, silhouette cutting and caricatures of one sort or another ever since!

The Oxfordshire Silhouette Artist loves being part of the buzz of an event, and adores the reaction his lightning-fast freehand cut likenesses get.

"It's one of those art forms that very few people do, so it's nice to stand out from the crowd and create work that people can take home as a unique souvenir of a memorable night - I see my silhouette portraits as little parcels of pleasure!" 

These unique artistic souvenirs can be created in next to no time, each person taking from three to five minutes depending on style required and detail. The finished silhouette is placed within a protective card mount so they are ready to frame and enjoy!

This act is also a Caricaturist and can be hired to perform a mix of these 2 art forms for your event:

The Oxfordshire Silhouette Artist - Silhouette Artist Feedback

He was awesome! the artwork was great and the guests loved him. Thanks for being part of our event.

Jo Williams, Ashton Gate Stadium, Bristol, (March 2024)

He was absolutely wonderful! He was super friendly and chatty before our ball, making sure he knew what was happening at the event. He arrived promptly and was straight to work! The guests loved his cheerful banter, relaxed persona and, most importantly, his amazing silhouettes! They worked perfectly at a Regency Ball and he put in those extra details of headwear and necklines which really added to his art. The silhouettes were a great size and beautifully presented, and he went that extra mile-making double copies, setting couples and cutting without pause. If you are looking for someone to add that 'little extra' sparkle to your event, I can't recommend him highly enough!

Karen Evans, Church of St Mary, Shrewsbury, Regency Ball (February 2023)

Our delegates loved his work and he was very friendly, professional and fun. We had so much praise for what he did and I cannot thank him enough. I would recommend him to anyone who is looking for something exciting and different for an event. Thank you!!

Mike Metcalfe-Shaw, Crown Plaza Stratford-upon-Avon, Corporate Event (September, 2022)

He was absolutely fantastic! He brought bags of enthusiasm, set himself up immediately and got straight to work photographing guests and making their silhouettes. He even stopped working to help bring the wedding cake over from the house to the main tent, across a gravel driveway and an open field. Not to mention that he finished off the remaining silhouettes for us after the event and even posted them to us to distribute amongst the guests that didn't get theirs on the day. 5/5 rating doesn't even come close - what a superstar!

Rob Steward, Groom, The Hall Barns, Ongar, Essex, Wedding (May, 2022)

Our guests all sang his praises and everyone absolutely loved their silhouettes and really enjoyed themselves. Thank you so much for helping create an unforgettable evening for my Mum’s 80th birthday. He definitely was the icing on the cake! Fantastic!

He is very talented. Having him at my party was fab! My guests were delighted with their silhouettes and bless him, had a steady stream of people waiting throughout. He is such a lovely man too. He was kind and funny and put everyone especially the children at ease. Thanks, that was my best party yet!

He was absolutely fantastic and the crowd really warmed to him and his charismatic personality.  His skills with the scissors are out of this world and made all his subjects look very glamorous.
