About Me
I am Cooley
I am Ginger Cooley, or just "Cooley" for short. I am currently
closed for art commissions, but am willing to license out my artwork. If you have interest in licensing my work, please
contact me.
Artist
I work on art projects ranging from digital illustrations and logos, to watercolor paintings and jewelry design. For two years, I studied 3D animation for video game design at DigiPen Institute of Technology, in Redmond, Washington. I have a great admiration for animated films - especially those produced by Stuido Ghibli. I taught myself how to use Adobe Photoshop and Corel Painter.
Photographer
I studied photography at both Southeastern Louisiana University (SLU), and the University of Alaska (UAA). My photos have appeared in several publications, including
Alaska Magazine,
Contractor Magazine, as well as websites such as
MSNBC.com and
SpaceWeather.com. I post photos throughout the year on my
blog.
Writer
I graduated with honors from UAA with a BA in journalism and public communications, and enjoy technical editing. I occasionally dabble in my fantasy novel and attend local writing group gatherings. I have also written a children's book, and am keeping an eye out for an agent.
Archaeologist (in training)
I am currently a graduate student in UAA's culture resource management (archaeology) program. My thesis project examines the rise of trace metal contaminants (namely lead) in the Porcupine Caribou herd since the advent of industrialization.
Hobbies and Sports
In the winter, I enjoy downhill skiing, snowboarding, and snowshoeing. I love to read, but am also a big fan of video games like Halo and Gears of War. In the summers, I train for triathlon and cycling events, sea kayak, camp, hike, fish, hunt, play golf, and partake in paintball too.
