Silhouette Cutter

Charles will freely admit to anyone that his life is completely dominated by silhouettes! Obsessed with drawing from an early age, Charles is now widely regarded as the finest silhouette cutter practicing in the country today. He is constantly searching for new ideas and new applications for his art.

Charles has has cut silhouettes for many high profile clients to include The Queen and President Clinton.

Charles has recently begun a new silhouette journey developing the historic craft of 'hollow cutting' whereby the artist cuts the silhouette inside-out from a piece of white paper. This means that the paper one would normally consider the 'off-cut' is actually the finished artwork. This is mounted over black to create the finished artwork. Charles is quite possibly the first artist to use this technique on a regular basis for 150 years!
