Dacotah Cook is a visual artist & printmaker living in Olympia, Washington.  She attends The Evergreen State college, focusing her studies on printmaking and art history.
Dacotah was introduced to the practice of various art forms at a young age, attending theater with her mother and meeting local artists as a young girl when her mother worked at an arts center in the town of Liberal, Kansas, however she did not start to actively pursue art until her teenage years.  In high school Dacotah took various art classes including Color & Design, Black & White Design, Pottery, and AP Studio Arts, and it was during this time that she discovered her love of creativity and mark-making.

Her Freshman year of college Dacotah took her first Printmaking course, an introductory woodcut class, and cultivated a new found love of graphic arts and the medium of print, deciding to pursue Printmaking as a major.  Over the last four years she took as many print courses as she could, learning the crafts of relief printing (wood block & linoleum cuts), intaglio (copper plate etching & engraving), screen printing, lithography (printing from stone), and hand-set type.  She is dedicated to pursuing an interdisciplinary artistic practice, bridging the gap between mediums as often as she can.
