Mrs. Cockerill is the owner of The Red Cockerill Gallery, located at 2845 Cemetery Street in Austell, where she and husband, Bill, have been in business since 1975. The Gallery displays her artwork and his pottery, woodwork, and framing. She was commissioned by the State of Georgia to paint James Oglethorpe, Thomas Jefferson, George Washington and Marquis de LaFayette life-size portraits for the Old Capitol in Milledgeville. She has won numerous awards, including Best in Show at the Spirit de France Arts Festival at Chateau Elan, Best of Show at the Ellijay Apple Festival, and First Place at the North Wildwood Beach NJ Art Exhibition.
