Many artists use brushes and paints to create. Cheryl Bernhardt creates art from plain black paper with scissors and her artist's eye. Cheryl's formal art education was in Graphics and Printmaking. Starting out professionally as a portrait artist, she taught herself the vanishing art of silhouette cutting because she wanted to make certain that it would not disappear as an art form. Many of us might have old silhouettes of family members prized as heirlooms today. Cheryl is creating the heirlooms of tomorrow.
Silhouettes are cut by sight on the spot during a one to two minute sitting. The silhouette is mounted on a 8"x10" card ready to frame. Two copies of the same person are cut on the spot by sight at the same time.

 I had a little girl named Abigail that's dad had stopped 3 times at my booth at the Main Street Festival. She just was not about to let me cut her silhouette. I'd guess her to be 3 & a head full of curley dark hair. I answered my phone this week to find grandma on the phone so we set up this evening for me to come to great grama's house. I drove over the pretty green & fields planted & growing countryside of 840/65 to Peytonville Rd & into Franklin downtown. I set up on the Victorian porch with the old white wicker furniture & oversized wicker porch swing & cut Abigail, Elijah & little new baby which name I cannot recall's silhouettes. What a beautiful day with the dappled sunlight shining through the lush trees the azaleas in full bloom. There were 3 generations of mothers & a couple of young dads enjoying the relaxing time on the homey old porch. Come to find out I had cut the 3rd generation mom's silhouette & another family member in 1997 when I used to do the Main Street Festival regularly. I asked if I could take a picture of them as they hung in the parlor. I will post that pic when I get back home from my studio. I simply love it when things come full circle. Pictured above are silhouettes I cut from 1997 hanging above birth announcements of their children. Now Great Grandma can hang theirs under. She said she'd have to take down the photo & add the new birth announcement. She now has all 3 great grandkids silhouettes to add to her collection. |

 Walking Tour & Festival Historical Mooresville, AL May 18, 2013  I couldn't help but snicker when I cut this little boys silhouette at a home party. I managed to catch a shot of him looking out the window to share him with you. It isn't a full sideview but you get the idea, tee hee. Don't you love it.
