Dale Cook is emotionally connected to the Maritimes with her family roots spanning over two centuries. This is the source of endless inspiration for her artwork. The diversity of the region through its changing seasons, land and seascapes and its people are represented in her work.
Dale approaches her work with enthusiasm when developing her concept considering the composition, light, and values. There is nothing careless in her approach. The finished work is representational blurring the lines of realism and impressionism.
Her emotional response to a subject is expressed in each painting. For Dale the greatest joy is the connection that develops between a viewer and her artwork often evoking a memory or a feeling between the two.
Dale’s works have been collected across Canada, United States, Mexico, UK, France, Germany, and Australia and is represented locally by Handworks Gallery, Saint John
