Known for her evocative Plein air landscapes, Colorado artist Carole Cooke relates, "When I paint on location in remote areas, I feel a sense of unparalleled exhilaration and joy. It is my hope that sharing images of these pristine vistas will not only help my viewers experience a strong connection to nature, but more importantly, will encourage them to join in efforts to preserve these vanishing treasures."Following a successful career as an Art Director in the film industry, Carole turned her talents to the field of fine art in 1997. Following her own path of discovery and fired by relentless enthusiasm and a dedication to research, she studied the work of European Masters, the Early California Impressionists and the Taos Masters, internalizing their expertise as a means to finding her own artistic voice.
