A.D. has worked as a professional artist and designer since 1980 and is best known for his award-winning series of photo-realistic motorcycle-inspired paintings, and for the dozens of large murals showcasing movie stars and celebrities that he created for the Hollywood Video stores during his five years. A.D.'s focus is on creating realistic large-scale paintings tastefully showcasing the female form. These paintings are typically created life-size and larger.

Art is about passion, vision and talent, which you may experience first-hand on ADCookFineArt.com. This web site provides a visual exploration into the dramatic images delicately and carefully captured forever on each large canvas.

A.D.'s original paintings are hard to appreciate by simply visiting a web site. His paintings are dramatic in size, quality, texture and impact. They can be enjoyed from across the room or from just inches away. They're realistic to the point of being illusionary, yet stylized enough to be interesting. They are true creative expressions of the artist, in amazing detail.

We take an "old-school, hands-on" approach to everything we do here. We take a pride in what we do, and the art that bears A.D.'s signature. We firmly believe that hand made art is essential, as are quality and craftsmanship.
