Larger Than Life
Her larger than life work graces parks, libraries, hospitals, churches, zoos, businesses and private homes across the country. They grace the Vatican in Rome, and a church in Russia. Rosalind Cook is a noted sculptress with a flair for turning hard bronze into fluid movement and carefully molded faces into soft expressions of joy and peace. The Tulsa artist uses her gift to celebrate the best of the human spirit and whether you know it or not, if you live in Oklahoma, you’ve likely been touched by her work. Cook allowed Gallery cameras into her studio to show us how she creates her giant sculptures and to share her unique perspective on the human condition.

Here is a quote by George Bernard Shaw that deeply resonates with me. The non-italic words, that are (underlined and in parentheses) are my personal additions.
“This is the true joy in life, being used for a purpose recognized by you as a mighty one. I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the whole community (and to God) and as long as I live it is my privilege to do for it whatever I can. I want to be thoroughly ‘used up’ when I die, for the harder I work (and the more I give), the more I live. Life is no brief candle to me. I rejoice in life for its own sake. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations.”
