Gary Cook
Gary lives and works in Dorset. He is Vice President of the Royal Institute of Painters in Water Colours (RI), where he has been awarded The Frank Herring Easel Prize for an outstanding work. He sits on the council of the Society of Graphic Fine Art (SGFA) where he has twice been awarded Best in Show at their annual exhibitions and is an elected member of The Arborealists. He writes regularly for Resurgence & Ecologist magazine and the Dorset Magazine. He graduated from Bournemouth in 1987 and was made a fellow of the university in 1999. He is an environmental painter who explores our complicated relationship with and often detrimental impact on nature. The combination of naturalistic painting and narrative script that characterise his watercolours are a direct result of his background in the newspaper industry where he was an associate editor and the senior artist for The Sunday Times for 26 years, winning many international awards for his illustrations
