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, riding horses, and bottle feeding wayward calves 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.
I am a proud member of Cowgirl Artists of America.
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 and three old cats are 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!
