This biography from the Archives of AskART:
|  Recognized for her compositions which often reveal a harmonious
combination of geometric and natural shapes, abstract painter,
printmaker and collage artist, Judy Cooke, has concentrated on wood and
oil paint as her primary media for over a decade.
Cooke was born in Bay City, Michigan in 1940. She began her
education at the Boston Museum School of Fine Arts, where she graduated
with honors in 1963 with a degree in Printmaking. Two years
later, she received her second degree in the Fine Arts at Tufts
University in Massachusetts, followed by a Master’s from Reed College
in Portland, Oregon for teaching art. In 1986, she began
instructing at the Pacific Northwest College of Art in Portland.
She has been awarded fellowships from the Boston Museum School of Fine
Arts in Massachusetts in 1974, and in 1989, from the National Endowment
for the Arts. At the University of Nevada in Las Vegas, she
served as the Artist-in-Residence in 1985.
Solo exhibitions of Cooke’s artwork have been held by a number of
institutions in Washington and Oregon, including Portland State
University. Her artwork has also appeared in group shows in
California, Illinois and Washington at venues including the Cheney
Cowles Memorial Museum in Spokane; San Francisco Museum of Modern Art;
and the University of Washington in Seattle.
Permanent collections to which her art has been added belong to
establishments, such as the Bank of America in San Francisco, the
Boston Museum School of Fine Arts in Massachusetts, and the Portland
Art Museum in Oregon.
