'Time spent in the artist’s studio reveals a highly technical approach and an adeptness at working in oils, watercolours, and conté. Cooper speaks of creating work in nature and in the studio as evoking metaphors of existence reflecting and reminding us of our collective human condition. Through her articulation of our place within the natural order, this artist demonstrates that she is an emerging artist whose work urges us to pay more attention to our personal life journeys in these complex times.’
