A bit about our special guest artists...

Information about Silhouette Artist & Photographer:

– Master silhouette artist, Kerry Cook, will be snipping finely detailed silhouette portraits at the ball. Kerry is one of only a handful of silhouette artists nationwide who still practice the art of real silhouette likenesses. As seen on King 5 Evening Magazine, she has been doing silhouettes professionally for more than 40 years, and her silhouettes of children are well known around the Pacific Northwest. She enjoys the challenge of creating specialty costume silhouettes, drawing inspiration from silhouettes’ heyday in the 1920’s and 30’s. Over the years, Kerry has done silhouette likenesses at Victorian tea parties, Regency balls, and Camlann Medieval Faire and Steam events. While most silhouettists today do a generic “formula” cut developed for use in theme parks, Kerry Cook’s silhouette likenesses carry on a tradition with roots going back to the Renaissance. Silhouettes are the last living survival of Renaissance miniature portraits. Kerry cuts freehand, directly from paper, without any preliminary drawing, tracing or projecting. Each silhouette portrait takes just minutes to create.
