Patricia Cook

Patricia Cook, née Gerrard was born on 4th June 1935 and died in 2000. Patricia’s father was a builder and had worked for L.S. Lowry. After viewing some of her artwork, Lowry decided to mentor Pat. Pat and her father, Frank, and mother, Lilian, lived in Mottram, Cheshire, where Lowry would later move. Pat’s family became good friends with Lowry, often touring together. Pat and her husband, Brian, travelled the UK and Ireland with Lowry.

Pat studied at the Manchester Regional College of Art in 1951 and later The Slade School of Fine Art in London. She became a freelance artist in 1965 and had her own show at the Hyde Festival Theatre in 1968. In 1970 she had an exhibition of her art in The Heineken Art Gallery in Amsterdam, and Salford gallery in 1977. Her work is now highly sought after.

In the 1970s, some of her work was bought by Prime Minister Harold Wilson and displayed in 10 Downing Street. In 1965, Pat and her husband moved to Knutsford and became popular local figures. In her later years, she became reclusive and cut off communication with much of her family. The cause of her death is still unknown to her own brother and many of her family.
