“When do you find time to do it all?” This is the question that has been asked of Debbie Cook over and over again. Debbie identifies herself as a Fiber Artist but that hasn't limited her skills and talents in other fields. “I've always loved to create my work from the natural things that God has provided.” Her corn-husk dolls seem to have their own personality, and her trademark piece “Mother's Joy,” depicting a mother swinging her child, is so lifelike that you can imagine them singing and laughing.

Debbie is also accomplished in the use of herbs and has developed a line of skin care products that contain only natural ingredients. Her herbal skin care and salves have developed quite a loyal following over the years. “Once people try it, they love it and call back for more.”
Debbie lives on a small farm near Hillsboro in Southern Ohio where she raises sheep and other animals, and where she is developing a cut-your-own lavender farm. “I use lavender in so many of my creations that it only seemed natural to share the experience of a fragrant walk through the lavender field with others.”
Debbie's work has been displayed in numerous art galleries, as well as the Smithsonian Institute and the White House.
