Drexel Theatre

By: Amanda Cook

Amanda Hope Cook was born in Nashville, Tennessee in 1975. Highly influenced by her father, artist Marion B. Cook, Amanda spent her early years immersed in learning the disciplines of painting and drawing. Upon graduating high school in 1994, Amanda was awarded a scholarship to the Columbus College of Art & Design in Columbus, Ohio and went on to earn a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the college in 1999. Amanda works as a self-employed, full-time Fine Artist. Her representational oil paintings depict landmark neon signs during various times of day, seasons, and weather. Amanda is a prolific artist and life-time student of art. When she is not painting neon signs in oil paint, she is doing studies of landscapes and still-lifes in various mediums, such as gouache and pencil, to improve and hone her skills as a visual artist.
