About Vendor 

Learn more about this vendor for your event.

Katherine Hilden's caricatures have been published in Inland Architect and Ms Magazine. Her caricatures of Chicago celebrities appear on the walls of Petterino's restaurant, adjacent to the Goodman Theater in Chicago. Katherine studied at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. She's put her extroversion to good use as a docent for the Chicago Architecture Foundation, hamming it up on the boat tour. Drawing caricatures for her is an interactive show. She relates to people while she draws and reflects the ambiance of the party in her work. BASICS: In black and white, it takes just 4-6 minutes per person; in full color, about 6-8 minutes. That means, in full color Katherine draws 7-10 people an hour; in black and white, 12-17/hour. It's fun and affordable, $130/hour. For example, for a party with 15 kids, Katherine will draw everybody in 2 hours and in full color. That's a wonderful party favor for about $8. Awesome! The parents will thank you and they will frame the picture at home as a remembrance of you wonderful party. FAMILY PARTIES: Birthday, Graduation Party, Wedding, Family Reunion, Block Party. When Katherine draws kids she goes easy, aiming for a likeness that's full of energy and she puts in some attitude because kids like that and the parents will say, oh, yeah! For adults, Katherine goes for the kind of humor she hears all around her at this particular party. Her drawings of adults can be goofy but more often tend to be glamorous. She's there to make your guests happy so that YOU will get the credit for planning this GREAT PARTY. People stand around and watch over her shoulder as she draws. She's inspired by this interaction. There's a lot of laughter all around and the ideas just flow. It's an ice-breaker, creates a party atmosphere by itself. Then your guests go home and frame this drawing. It makes your party memorable. It really is all about YOU and it's about LOOKING GOOD! CORPORATE EVENTS : Trade Show, Company Picnic, Award Dinner, Holiday Party, Open House, Office Party. If you are planning a trade show or convention, think caricatures. Katherine Hilden's caricatures at your booth will steal the show. You will have a line around your booth. This draws attention to YOUR BUSINESS. As people walk around with these drawings (in clear plastic sleeves) they actually advertise your booth! For conventions Katherine often pre-prints the paper with the company logo or, better yet, with a pre-drawn scene so that drawing in the conventioneers goes fast. The result is spectacular. You can be sure, the drawing will be framed and, ta-tah!!, there's your logo for everyone to see, forevermore. Her drawings are fast and fun. At trade shows, it's a drawing every 3-4 minutes. The line is long, but the wait is short. People like this.

Katherine was a total joy with whom to have worked. I originally had some doubts about how appropriate hiring a caricaturist for my company's annual party would be. I was completely satisfied. I cannot know if all artists work this well with their subjects, but if they don't, they should watch Katherine to see how it SHOULD be done. Each of the 18 people who were drawn had great things to say about her. Interestingly, each had different observations. Evidently, Katherine tailors her approach individually to make each subject feel comfortable. I hope Katherine uses me as a reference for others so I can repay her talent by recommending her
