Alie Cook.

Origin the Netherlands. Arrived in N.Z. March 1966 with her husband Gerrit Cook, and her two sons (Corrie & Rudolf).

Soon after arriving in New Zealand Alie gave birth to a daughter (Linda).

In 1999, Alie's husband Gerrit Cook passed away, and with her children having long flown the family home Alie decided to re-evaluate her life.

Determined to find meaning and achieve excellence in her own right, Alie, in the process of trying out many different things, picked up a paint brush and began to paint.

Alie not having touched a brush since being a small child found to her and everyones amazement, her first works of art displayed astonishing talent.

Subsequently Alie has spent much of her time developing her abilities to produce some of the fine works you will find on this site.

Each work represented here involves many hours of work and passion. It incorporates careful planning, colour co-ordination and painstaking brush-work.

After settling the Waikato Region of New Zealand, Alie spends time travelling the country side and is always on the look-out for potential sites to paint.

We welcome you to Alies works. We hope you will enjoy viewing them as much as we have enjoyed presenting them for your pleasure.

If you like her work and feel you need more information please feel free to contact us.
