BERNICE COOKE

Art is a journey of discovery, and my path has led me from architectural subjects to an intense love for portraiture. In early 2025, I transitioned from oil painting to experimenting with watercolor, pencil, and charcoal portraits. Inspired by the old masters, I explore how natural light interacts with the human face, bringing emotion and depth to my work. Through this shift, I strive to capture not just a likeness, but the essence and story behind each subject.
