(1964 - )
Ashley Cook studied fine art and printmaking at the Glasgow School of Art. After graduating in 1987, she worked there as a print technician and then as a lecturer until 1995. Creating narrative works from found images and her own autographic and photographic images, Cook reuses, redevelops and manipulates iconography in her practice. She uses an intense palette of contrasting colours to create dreamlike, often ethereal images. Her work is represented in UK public collections including the Scottish Arts Council; the BBC; and Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum in Glasgow; and internationally at The Vaasa Museum, Finland, and Galeria Otra Vez, Los Angeles.
