Anthony Cook

Artist Biography

A lifetime involvement with the magnificent landscape known as Cook Forest inspires Anthony Cook's sensitivity and insight used in his art, prints and posters. Once the cherished property of the Cook family, the 7,200-acre forest was deeded in perpetuity to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in 1928 for its protection.

A zealous advocate for the conservation of old growth forests, Cook travels extensively to the forests of Central and North America, giving speeches and writing articles to raise awareness about the complex issues affecting the future of these remnant tracts of forests. In addition, Cook utilizes his love and knowledge of the environment as a mediator, helping opposing parties come to agreement on complex environmental problems.

Cook paints art, prints and posters where lives with his wife and children in the Cook Forest in a home built by his grandfather over 100 years ago.
