Elaine Cooper was born in Lancashire & whilst her love of painting
was kindled at primary school. Elaine’s choice of career was as
a designer. Elaine Cooper made a name for herself honing her craft during
many happy years working for some of the top UK & American textile
companies. Ten years ago Elaine seized the opportunity to pursue her
first love of painting. Now an established artist Elaine Cooper creates
bold, vibrant images that present snatches of real life. Her background
in Design has given her the exceptional command of colour and texture
used to recreate the all too human and often humorous images you see.
The larger than life immaculately dressed ladies in her paintings were
inspired by Pearl, Poppy and Pandora, names given to three ladies spotted
whilst painting on the French Riviera. Cooper observed them many times
during the weeks she spent painting & sketching amongst the narrow
alleyways and butter coloured houses of the village and were a great
source of entertainment.
Elaine Cooper's work is in private collections both here & on the
continent.
