Oil

Alicia Cook is a southern contemporary impressionist oil painter painting florals and landscapes in a romantic, ethereal style. Her paintings of timeless roses and cheerful pansies show a touch of nostalgia. Her primary inspiration is the natural world, specifically flowers from her home garden and landscape views of the southern countryside. She strives to bring notice to their often overlooked beauty. Alicia is captivated by the layering process of applying water-soluble oil paints and often incorporates oil pastels and metallic paint in her work. Additionally, she is an avid lover of antiques and stories from the past, and her art history graduate studies at the University of Alabama continually influence her work.
