Carol Cook

I'm based in Yorkshire, England; and as a Graphic Artist, Art and Design have always played a major role throughout my life. Previously my career remained within the Print Industry, being Resident Artist in lithographic fields in the beginning; and then a change of disciplines eight years later, meant the transition to Industrial Etching and Screen-Print within Engineering & Manufacture, as Company Head of Art & Design. Having completed many commissions, including television work; and whether Graphic, Photographic, or in miniature; from Autumn 1996, I have been obsessed with the creation of high quality and truly realistic miniatures - of which miniature food is my passion; character dolls and miniature accessories are great to create too. I came across Collectors' interest in this subject matter by accident; and still remain intrigued at the totally, all consuming appetite for this hobby, myself of course included! Working from Tudor and Medieval times to contemporary, I hope to continue working towards a more liberated form of expression leading to the creation of more original and unique pieces, thus harmonising my own creativity with Collectors' requirements, related to their hobby.
