Sue Cook apparently “came out of nowhere” in July of this year, to win a highly regarded visual arts prize based in New York. But the question is, do artists ever really come out of nowhere?
Cook’s work was voted 1st prize at an International Visual Art competition hosted at My Art Space by the Cat Mac Art Corporation in the US. Suddenly Cook found herself catapulted from her Yorkshire studio, into the art heart of New York and then off to an artists’ studio in the South of France. As part of the art prize Cook will also have the opportunity to exhibit her dramatically exotic paintings of flowers in the Westwood Gallery in New York next year.
