Original Artwork by Shelly Cook

For the love of art....

Shelly Cook’s art is a profound exploration of the human condition, intricately woven with the cycles of nature. Her heavily textured and abstract paintings are not just visual experiences but emotional journeys that delve into the themes of life, death, and transformation. 

 Her inspiration comes from the rugged beauty of Cornwall, where she resides, and it's rich tapestry of geology, history, and mythology. This connection to place imbues her work with a sense of mortality and eternity. reflecting the transient yet timeless nature of human emotions.

Cook’s art is an emotional response to the world around her, capturing the essence of our existential journey through the lens of nature’s transformative power. Her canvases are where the tangible meets the ethereal, leaving an indelible mark on the view, much like her painting 'The Handprint' which symbolizes the human desire to leave a lasting impression before we fade away. 

Shelly Cook's art is a celebration of the natural world's beauty and brutality.  A mirror to our own lives, constantly changing and evolving, yet always seeking to find beauty in the details and decay.
