Who is Teresa Cook?

Teresa Cook, a native of Jacksonville, Florida, is an accomplished Abstract Architectural Watercolor artist with a passion for capturing the essence of landscapes and structures. Graduating with a BFA from the University of North Florida in 2012, she has dedicated the past decade to honing her craft, traversing both international and local landscapes.

Specializing in mini watercolor abstractions on "Yupo," a smooth paper, Teresa's work beautifully freezes moments in time, skillfully excluding human elements to emphasize the pure architectural and natural beauty. Her artistic journey has led her to explore diverse cities, including a recent participation in the 2019 Urban Sketchers Symposium in Amsterdam and a captivating visit to Puerto Rico in 2021.

In addition to her thriving artistic career, Teresa serves as an esteemed Art Instructor at local institutions in Jacksonville. As she enters 2024, her eagerly anticipated workshops promise to inspire and educate aspiring artists on the nuances of watercolor and ink painting techniques. She currently is a regional artist on display with the Cummer Museum, her exhibit, “Women’s Rights Movement”.
