Cook has studied with generous instructors including Dr James Mahlon Rosen and Jack Jackson. Her studies include training with contemporary artists Michael Klein, Edward Jonas, Natalie Italiano, Daniel Edmonson, Michelle Dunaway, Dan Thompson, Robert Carsten, James Tennison, and Dawn Whitelaw. Katherine's love for design and beauty have opened opportunities for her to serve both as an art educator in schools and workshops as well as serving the community at large. In 1999, Katherine founded the Leesburg Center for the Arts in Central Florida. As director, Cook often served as a judge, curator, exhibit creator, liaison, art festival director, fund raiser, project coordinator, and visionary.​ Her work can be found in a number of private collections, and in the Gallery of the Cultural Heritage Center in Arusha, Tanzania.
