While both individuals are on the same street, they have greatly different experiences. They appear very different, but they are actually the same medium, and the world around them is what is different. By understanding the visual context we encounter people in the world around us, possibly we can examine our assumptions about and interactions with the world around us, and through this understanding, maybe we can begin to act in ways that are free from our subconscious and ingrained reactions, instead acting in a kind and wise manner.

Artist + Drew Cooke
Follow this artistI was born and raised in New Orleans, and at a young age I took interest in local art and culture. Leaving behind engineering scholarships at 19 to fully pursue my art interests, I soon booked my first exhibit in New Orleans showing colored-pencil sketches based on studies of Degas' dancers.
After these Degas' studies and many others of great artists, I began pursuing a new, self-taught method that formed into the sculptural-painting and collage techniques I use today. My works using these techniques have been shown in New York, New Orleans, and Oklahoma City galleries.
