We were thrilled to have Candice join us at our large-scale union picnic (14,000 attendees) this year. Her talent is absolutely remarkable! In just a few deft cuts, she created stunning silhouettes that perfectly captured the unique profiles of our attendees and their families. The crowd was buzzing with excitement as they watched her work, and I’m sure that everyone cherished the beautiful, personalized silhouettes they got to take home.
Candice’s presence added a special, timeless touch to our event, and we couldn’t have asked for a better addition to our festivities. Her work was not only impressive but also a fun and memorable experience for everyone. We are looking forward to hiring her again in the near future!
Candice and her team were the extra boost to the wedding that made the event really memorable and meaningful! The guests could not stop talking about what a great idea this was! Candice was also prompt, communicative, and a joy to work with!
Candice was so great, would highly recommend!
Candice came for my birthday party in June. She was so fun and warm and great at what she does! Made the party so memorable, people are still talking about it! Meanwhile, I’m fondly reminiscing and looking through this wonderful guestbook that she made for the event. I wholeheartedly 10/10 recommend!!!!!

Candice started cutting silhouettes and drawing portraits in the late 1980's, as a teenager, working at Geauga Lake and Sea World of Ohio. She continued working as a portrait and silhouette artist through college until she went to work in the Animation industry in Hollywood, CA. After many years of only cutting silhouettes for family and friends, Candice took up the art again professionally. In addition to private event bookings, Candice periodically does public events in the Los Angeles area.
