Tammra Cook is an elementary school art teacher and folk artist. She shares memories and stories of favorite places through her paintings. By focusing on daily life and familiar scenes Tammra uses brush strokes and paint to express her vision of the beauty found in everyday surroundings. While her love for Impressionistic painting can be recognized as an influence for her painterly skies and backgrounds, she is also known for interspersing specific details (frequently including her dog, Major, the Basset Hound) on the canvas to create unique and interesting folk scenes.
