Cass Hook began his involvement with the arts in the 1970s as a partner in a night club in Austin, Texas. Later Hook worked as a representative of a musical group and sold advertising for various arts journals. In the 80’s Hook published his own journal of creative writing, The Dead Tree, a book of his own poetry Precognition, and became a partner in Amazing Records, a label that produced Austin and other Texas Artists.

During this time Hook began to draw and work in watercolor and pastels. In the nineties, after completing a few woodcarvings, he began a study of sculpture at the Elizabet Ney Sculpture Conservatory, also known as the Austin Sculpture Center.

Hook’s current body of work includes abstract, figurative, and portrait sculptures in bronze, clay, and mixed-media.
