ABOUT THE ARTIST
Mr. Cobb was born, raised, and has lived in the North Country all his life. He paints mostly in acrylics and oils, and creates works that deal with his admiration of nature and the outdoors. The nearby countryside, rivers and mountains of New York's Adirondack Park provide much of his inspiration.

A passionate fly fisherman, his depictions of various trout and other fish, are not only from his own creel, but from references graciously supplied to him from anglers around the world. His landscapes and other work often document scenes from the rivers, lakes and countryside he frequents, and portray the isolation and solitude of nature, while at the same time welcoming the viewer into it.

With the onset of the pandemic, and moved by the bleakness of the times, he turned his attention to depicting the remains of old barns throughout the north country. The grayness of the weathered barn-wood led him to simplify his palette to black and white, concentrating strictly on value to capture mood. His foray into black and white continues into other subject matter, but is frequently interrupted with a more colorful palette.

His work has been exhibited throughout the New York and Vermont, and has won numerous local awards. He is an active member in the local art community, and belongs to various art organizations in and around the area. He is represented by Gallery 46, Lake Placid NY and The Gallery at Lake St. Lawrence Arts in Waddington NY.
