Olive Cook
Olive Cook is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
Olive Cook lived in a tiny Cornish cottage with walls the color of wet slate and a view that never quit her studio. She spent years painting the county’s abandoned mines, turning sooty shafts and crumbling headframes into watercolors that somehow felt bright. If you’ve ever stood beneath the cliffs at St. Agnes Head and felt the wind carry the ghosts of 19th-century miners, look up her “Disused Tin Mine, St. Agnes, Cornwall” — she put that exact quiet on paper.
