Alice Cook looks to the everyday experience to inform her work in the studio.  The work is autobiographical in nature, using the moment to engage and cultivate awareness.  Her practice is expressed through several forms, including  paintings, drawings, prints, collages, and mixed media works.  Cook has exhibited in the Midwest, USA, and is an award-winning artist.  She received her  Master of Fine Arts (MFA) from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in the Painting and Drawing Department.  Born and raised in Chicago, Alice is currently experiencing life in a small town in Illinois.
