Traditional LIVE Caricatures OR Silhouettes, that truly make people happy! Your guests will be charmed and AMAZED when you invite caricature/silhouette artist Emily Byrne to your party! It's so much fun to watch spot-on, yet LIGHT-HEARTED likenesses emerge from her pen or scissors, in only minutes per face. Caricatures or silhouettes are actually double the value for your entertainment budget; they're not only a unique, customized live art experience---but Emily's artwork is also the party favor that your attendees will treasure forever! For live events, choose caricatures OR silhouettes, she only does one art form at a time, as they require different set-ups and supplies. Please click on my VIDEOS above to SEE just how much fun her live caricatures and silhouettes can be! :-D CARICATURES: In addition to her 8. 5" x 11" caricatures, Emily is NOW OFFERING "Mini-caricatures" these are an adorable 5" x 5" and much easier for your out-of-town guests to transport----smaller size, same fun impact!! Emily has caricatured everyone from newborns to one-hundred-year-olds...and is proud of her going-on-30-years of professional experience at all types of events, from casual to formal. She is known for her delightful, super-specific, uncanny likenesses! She draws approximately 12-14 faces per hour in shaded B&W, OR can do 18-20 faces per hour without the shading. She uses archival ink markers, and quality 8.5 x 11 or 5 x 5 heavyweight paper. Each drawing gets its own plastic sleeve or translucent envelope. She also offers STEALTH CARICATURES and COASTER CARICATURES, samples are in her gallery. As an award-winning Gold member of the International Society of Caricature Artists, Emily is passionate about her craft. At events, her clients remark that they can plainly see how much she enjoys what she does for a living--putting smiles on faces, both literally and figuratively! SILHOUETTES: Emily has mastered the amazing-to-watch, historic skill of freehand silhouette cutting--no drawing is involved at all, she just looks at each subject and cuts an accurate profile, capturing the essence of each person, in a minute or two! The delightful result then is pasted to a customized-for-your-event 5 x 7 card and placed in a translucent envelope for your guests to take home and treasure. She can cut 15-20 faces per hour. There are only a handful of silhouette artists working events in the WORLD today! VIRTUAL: Emily can service clients anywhere via Zoom or other virtual platforms, if requested. There is a two-hour minimum for all live events; however for wedding receptions and further-away gigs, there is a three-hour minimum and a travel fee depending on distance. For virtual events there is a one-hour minimum. Emily also carries event liability insurance if your venue requires it. Please check out Emily's feedback below from her fantastic The Bash clients--it speaks for itself :-)

Review by Sydney H.

Celebration•Reviewed on July 17, 2026•From Philadelphia, PA

Emily was amazing to work with for our large Fourth of July celebration honoring America’s 250th anniversary. She was responsive, fun, professional, and incredibly well-organized throughout the entire process. She even dressed in colonial garb, which was such a thoughtful touch and fit the event perfectly! Her silhouettes were a unique and meaningful addition to the celebration, and our guests loved being able to take home a personalized keepsake. We received so much positive feedback about her work, and she truly helped make the event even more special and memorable. We would absolutely recommend Emily for any event!

Review by Anabel R.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on April 14, 2026•From Dover, DE

Caricatures & Silhouettes by Emily: An Awesome Experience Having a silhouette artist in our activity was an incredible experience. God has truly blessed her with an amazing talent. Initially, we had agreed on a two-hour session, but we decided to extend it for an additional hour because the guests thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Loved it!

Caricatures & Silhouettes by Emily Byrne:

Thank you Anabel, for having me and for keeping my scissors going even longer for your guests. So many of them commented on the timeless quality of silhouette portraits and enjoyed having one made just for them. It was a pleasure to be a part of such a lovingly-planned celebration! Best wishes to the beautiful birthday girl!
