Martin D. Cooke U.W.S.
Martin Cooke
was born in Belfast in 1951. After leaving school he spent 5 years as an architectural draughtsman followed
by a further four years in a successful restaurant business, thus combining his passions for painting
and cooking.
In 1978 the success of his first one-man exhibition prompted him to turn professional.
He has hosted numerous exhibitions since, both throughout Ireland and America. He draws his inspiration
from the Irish countryside as well as the Lake District, a favourite walking location.
Martin
teaches and demonstrates throughout the Province and is a Member of the Ulster Watercolour Society.
Throughout his career he has developed his skills with impressionist oils and abstract acrylics. In
September 2001 Martin published his first book, an illustrated historical account of "East Belfast".
