Cox’s work
sets in motion an unrivaled interplay of
textures, forms and colors, which depict strong emotions. Her
contemporary art is powerful, imaginative and unprecedented in style.
Cox is committed to art and the discovery of new and exciting ideas
and techniques. She has a keen and
sensitive eye for three-dimensional detail and color and it’s impact
on all aspects of design and composition in a work of art. In the eyes
of the observers, Cox’s paintings combine form and color and compel
the viewer to interact with the artwork. The language of Cox’s
abstract work speaks to the viewer by way of deep hues of color, which
are powerful but calming. Her work often reminds the viewer of an end
to a long day when dusk has arrived and the world finally relaxes. Cox
feels that her work is non-conforming and exhibits a sense of freedom.
Her progress in the art world has been rapid.
Cox has
undertaken many projects related to her paintings. While working
as an artist in Dallas, Texas, Cox worked for a scenic company
constructing and painting large backdrops for organizations such as
the Dallas Opera, the Dallas Ballet, and the Los Colinas Film Studios.
Some of the productions include: The Nutcracker and Phantom of the
Opera. The backdrops she created measured 40 feet by 60 feet
long. Cox’s experience with scenic design has inspired her to work on
large-scale paintings for private collectors.
One of
her most important achievements was painting the background for
the National Civil Rights Humanities Awards in Memphis, Tennessee
where Leah Rabin, wife of slain Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin,
spoke and presented the award for freedom. While living in
Memphis, Tennessee, Cox’s artwork was heavily influenced by the people
and surroundings. It was there that she developed a growing interest
in historical preservation and a southern way of life. In 1999,
Cox was selected for the 1999
International
Women’s Works
Competition in Chicago, Illinois.
Her entry was an Americana painting depicting people
and southern life in the past and present.
Cox has
been painting for 26 years and currently works as a full time-artist.
She is a member of the National Women's Caucus for Art and lives in
North Little Rock, Arkansas.
