About
Jeanette Cook is a contemporary artist who lives and works in Albuquerque, New Mexico. She has a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Theatre Arts with a Dance emphasis from the University of New Mexico. She moved to NYC in her early 20’s and was influenced my minimalism, the power of the human form and the expansiveness of the NYC public library. In New York she continued her study of both Ballet and Modern Dance, but really found the spontaneous power of Improvisation. Returning to NM she earned her Advanced degree in Nursing and a Masters of Science in Midwifery. She worked as a Midwife and supported her children while studying drawing, painting and printmaking. She choreographs all her paintings.
Artist Statement
Taking the Long Road Jeanette Cook Says abstraction reveals moments of infinite possibility, through choosing the path of the unknown. Painting allows chaos to be intuitively choreographed by finding the rhythms and patterns of paint. I often include visual poetry and asemic writing in my work. I’m looking for that place in the brain where visual language has its origins, by seeing without looking, writing without reading and moving with intuitive intent. I strive for a painting to make you feel, sing, dance, and tell a story.
