About the Artist

With Texas roots and an upbringing characterized by artistic exploration, Cody Hooper’s work exudes authenticity and vibrant creativity. At just 11 years old, he began studying under renowned Southwest watercolorist Barbara Hughes, who trained Hooper in realism for five years. Through his practice, he transformed his technical skill into a distinctive abstract style, characterized by layered compositions and dynamic movement. Drawing continuous inspiration from color theory and the emotional power of design, Hooper's work balances boldness with harmony, creating pieces that resonate on both visual and emotional levels.

Our latest arrivals by Hooper: Autumn Elegance, Rain Glass, and Together We Are One, exhibit his diverse skill set. In these works, Hooper successfully achieves his goal of breathing life into his works and prompting viewers to reflect upon their own spirit. Rather than remaining in the comfort of his studio, he gains creative inspiration by exploring the outside world. Translating the liveliness of his surroundings into brushstrokes, these abstractions become uniquely adorned with the spirit of the organic world.

Hooper’s work is exhibited in prestigious galleries and featured in private and public collections worldwide. As a force to be reckoned with in the contemporary art scene, Hooper’s work is in high demand, with two of his three new arrivals selling expeditiously. Distinguished by his investment-quality work, Cody Hooper quickly became a leading artist at the Drew Marc Gallery. Keep an eye on our new arrivals and exhibitions to acquire these highly coveted, investment-worthy pieces.
