KIT PORTER SILHOUETTE | DONATE IN KIT'S MEMORY
KIT PORTER WAS A SUCCESSFUL ARTIST, A LOVING MOTHER, AND A DEVOTED WIFE, DAUGHTER, SISTER + FRIEND. SHE WAS AN INSPIRATION TO MANY.
ON DECEMBER 23, 2023, KIT LOST HER COURAGEOUS BATTLE WITH BREAST CANCER AT ONLY 40 YEARS OLD. HUNDREDS OF HER LOVED ONES GATHERED ON THE BEACH AT HUNTING ISLAND IN BEAUFORT, SC TO CELEBRATE HER LIFE + REUNITE HER WITH THE VERY SEA SHE LOVED SO MUCH.
MANY OF HER FELLOW ARTISTS + ADMIRERS KNOW THAT KIT PREFERRED TO PAINT ON THE FLOOR RATHER THAN ON AN EASEL. SHE CAN BE SEEN SITTING IN HER "PAINTING PERCH" THROUGHOUT HER ARTISTIC JOURNEY - A SCENE THAT IS ALREADY GREATLY MISSED.
IT WAS AN HONOR TO CAPTURE KIT IN HER ELEMENT. THIS IS WHY WE CREATE SILHOUETTES - TO FREEZE A MOMENT IN TIME, TO REMEMBER SOMEONE SPECIAL. WHILE WE ORIGINALLY CREATED THIS AS A GIFT TO HER HUSBAND, WE WERE OVERWHELMED WITH INQUIRIES FROM MANY OTHERS WHO LOVED HER. WE HAVE DECIDED TO SELL KIT'S SILHOUETTE AT HALF PRICE TO ANYONE WHO WOULD LIKE ONE. ALL NET PROCEEDS WILL BE DONATED TO THE PRESERVATION OF HUNTING ISLAND IN KIT'S MEMORY.

CARING FOR ACRYLIC:
ACRYLIC IS A VERY DURABLE MATERIAL THAT IS EASY TO CLEAN. HOWEVER, IT CAN BE SCRATCHED IF IT IS NOT HANDLED CORRECTLY. TO CLEAN, BLOW OFF ANY DUST OR DIRT PARTICLES. USING A MICROFIBER CLOTH, WIPE GENTLY WITH WARM, SOAPY WATER. AVOID USING WINDOW OR GLASS CLEANERS OR ANYTHING CONTAINING AMMONIA, AS THEY CAN CAUSE THE ACRYLIC TO TURN CLOUDY. DO NOT DRY WITH PAPER TOWELS OR ANYTHING ROUGH, AS THEY CAN DAMAGE THE SURFACE OF THE ACRYLIC. INSTEAD, LET IT AIR-DRY OR USE A DRY MICROFIBER CLOTH. MOST OF ALL, ENJOY!
