Fat Cow Studio
Pottery, photography, and mixed media art inspired by nature and the country life led by artist Cindy Cook.
Let me introduce myself-
I’m a city girl who found her heart in the country. These days, I live in central Texas, raising cattle and riding horses with my husband, Steve. I’m a mom and a proud grandmother. My four grandkids call me Birdie.
As a self-taught artist. My pottery is mostly slab-built, textured, and often incorporates found objects, deer sheds, feathers, roots, bones, old metal and gifts from nature. I’m drawn to raw edges, weathered patinas, and forms that carry a sense of place and spirit.
My work is rustic, unconventional and maybe a little wild. Made with intention and grounded in gratitude. Each piece of pottery, each photograph I capture, carries a piece of my heart. Art is not only what I create, it is the way I live my life.
I tend a small flower garden, keep bees and feed the birds and wildlife. I am inspired by colors of the sunset, native grasses and the ebb and flow of the seasons.
Before this chapter, I spent nearly 40 years in the drafting and architectural design world. I still love interesting lines, old buildings, and the stories that structure can tell. I live my life on my own terms now, far from the sameness of the corporate world. My studio is surrounded by nature and everything I love. I have 3 studio cats that like to leave their paw prints on my work. My german shepherd, Sadie is always by my feet.
I’m so glad you’re here. Pour yourself a cup of tea, take a look around, read a few stories and see where I will be with my pottery.
Stay a while and leave me a comment introducing yourself!
