""I don't see art as something I do," she says. "It's how I process the world around me.""
""I was always drawn to shape and touch-how materials felt in my hands," she recalls. "It started with clay because it's so direct. You push, and it pushes back.""
""Those views made me think about permanence and change," she explains. "That's what I try to capture-the balance between what stays and what fades.""
""I love when people want to touch the art," she says. "It means they're feeling something, not just looking.""
Jacque Cook built a creative life centered on form, texture, and emotion in Argyle, Texas. Clay initiated a tactile practice that expanded into pottery, sculpture, and painting, each medium serving as a language for feeling. Early works drew from North Texas landscapes—fields, barns, open skies—and explored permanence versus change. Local sales and gallery attention followed as viewers connected with the honesty and texture. Current practice blends traditional craftsmanship with contemporary expression: functional and sculptural pottery, abstract emotional paintings, layered glazes, mixed media, and natural materials to produce tactile depth and invite touch.
