The Inquisitive Artist: Dan R Cook (Part 1)

A conversation with abstract artist Dan Cook about his journey from illustration to painting, his creative process, and what it really takes to make a living from art.

In this episode of The Inquisitive Artist, I’m joined by abstract artist Dan Cook to talk about his path from working in illustration to becoming a full-time painter. He shares how his background in drafting shaped his style, why he took the leap into painting, and how he makes it all work as a career.

Dan dives into his process – layering oils, resins, and pastels on wood panels – and how his art has evolved over time. He chats about the balance between planning and experimentation, how childhood memories influence his work, and why he’s always pushing himself to try new things.
