Robert Cook was born in 1948 and is a self-taught artist. He has been painting professionally since 1989.

Cook uses acrylic and layered glazing on textured canvas to complete an old-world finish that is commonly mistaken for oils. His landscapes in particular have a calming effect on most people.

Cook paints "moods"... late evening, early morning, impressions of melancholy or lonesomeness. "The feeling you get when fall comes and the shadows change."

Robert Cook's paintings are found in numerous private and corporate collections, both nationally and internationally.
