Therese Cook
I have always been fascinated with color and texture and inspired by all the beauty that
surrounds me every day. I found my creative outlet in interior design years ago and then
started to create art, primarily using collage. In 2008, I attended an encaustic workshop and
became hooked on the process. I have since taken workshops with several internationally
renowned encaustic artists and continue to grow and learn, combining encaustic with various
materials.
I love the way the wax feels and smells, the versatility of it, layering and carving back, and the
luminosity of the finished pieces. I sometimes start with an end in mind but many times just let
the process and my intuition take over and let the wax do what it wishes.
I live in Malvern with my husband Bob and spend as much time as I can in my backyard studio.
When I am not in my studio, you might find me doing yoga, running the hills of Lake Mohawk or
travelling up and down the east coast, visiting by kids and grandkids.
My work is on display in several local galleries as well as galleries in Virginia and Indiana.
