Cory Silken

Artist Biography

An avid outdoor explorer, Cory Silken's main photographic and active interest lies in sailing. Most recently, he has crewed aboard the classic America's Cup 12 Meter fleet in Newport, Rhode Island. Cory now combines his passion for photography and love of sailing to document and preserve the grace of classic yachts, and convey the real thrill of sailboat racing. He has quickly become established with his ability to fuse serenity with excitement in these original scenes of classic yacht racing. In a relatively short time, Cory has managed to record countless memorable moments in sailing. His award winning fine art, prints and posters are never posed or set up; rather, they are special images, each a unique vantage point which portrays the dynamic range of light and life on the water.

Cory studied Environmental Science and graduated Boston University's College of Art and Science with a B.A. degree in Economics. Cory was involved in the fine art photography program at Union College, and continued to pursue his photographic interest with photojournalism classes at Boston University. He now travels throughout the world for personal work and commercial assignments, and his sailing photographic art, prints and posters have been published worldwide.

He has recently started Silken Publishing, an art publishing company featuring calendars, note cards, prints, posters and other gifts of fine sailing images.
