I LOVE HORSES. 
I LOVE TO DRAW, PAINT, AND PHOTOGRAPH HORSES!
 

   Hello, my name is Sheri Mills Cook, a talented self-taught artist and I create my own unique collectible style of equine art. My preferred style is realistic and from the heart.  Not only does my art delight the horse lover’s eye, it also arouses the feelings and the fondness that urges one to reflect upon their own love of the horse. I portray my genre with a genuine love and emotional devotion to my subject...THE HORSE!

   Like most horse crazy little girls, I have drew horses since early childhood. Of course, I never outgrew the fascination and happy for it.  I am a professional artist and I am published in Horse Illustrated, Bird Talk and Young Rider. I have had the honor of studying under Marilyn Todd-Daniels twice in the Equine Art Workshops she offers at Woodsong Institute in Whitewright, Texas.
Throughout this journey and development of my career, I express my creations with the use of various mediums; from Graphite Pencil, Prisma Color Pencils, Watercolors and Inks, to Acrylics and Water Soluble Oils.  I am recently experimenting with Digital Art using Corel Painter, as well.

   I combine soft colors, soft tones and hues to create my art of the horse.  I am drawn to my subjects because of their God given shape, form, beauty and spirit. These animals touch my soul. As I create my personal works of equine art, I attempt to devote attention to my favorite parts of that horse. It could be the curve of the neck, the bend of an ear, powerful legs, or a flashy mane and tail. I am especially fond of the eyes and muzzle. I want what ever delights my eye in that particular horse to catch the viewer's eye as well.

   Currently, I also enjoy expression in the form of A.C.E.O. art cards. These little illustrative works of (2.5" X 3.5") art make it affordable for all to collect my creations.  I use mixed mediums of pen and ink with prisma professional markers and color pencils which result in colorful collectible art cards. These bold and colorful little cards are very fun and exciting for me. I enjoy making each one! 
A new fascination for me are my watercolor and ink INDEX CARD artworks. Each (3"x5" index card) is unique and collectible. I hope to use the bulk of them for fund-raising. You may view MY FAVORITE CHARITIES here. This new medium is also very affordable and fun for me as an artist to create.

   My skill in execution and love of my subject produces unique and cherished creations of equine and animal artworks. I hope you will consider becoming a member of my COLLECTING COOK ART family!
