Nashville artist Kathleen Cox is the Featured Artist at the Brown
County Art Gallery from April 14th through April 27th. Though Ms Cox
holds degrees in both teaching and nursing, she has always had an
interest in art. While living in Cleveland, Ohio she was able to
study art at the Cleveland Art Institute and also through local
classes. In 1992 she and her husband David moved to Nashville, where
she found the art community very stimulating. Ms Cox soon found a
market for her paintings and was accepted as a member of the Brown
County Art Gallery where she now holds the position of Membership
Director.
A versatile artist, Ms Cox is equally comfortable with oils, acrylics, and watercolors. She enjoys painting a variety of subjects including portraits, still lifes and landscapes. Always looking for fresh artistic stimulus, she became a founding member of the Experimental Artists of Brown County, which she describes as "a small group of artists who explore new techniques in the movement of paint, in various media." The group meets monthly to paint, share ideas, and critique. Ms Cox is an active member in the art community, holding memberships in Art Alliance Brown County, the Brown County Art Gallery, Indiana Heritage Arts, the Hoosier Salon, and the Indiana Watercolor Society, among others. Ms Cox maintains a studio in her Nashville home. She is devoted to her talent, finding time to paint or do other art related activities every day. "I find so many things that I wish to paint and create." She says. "Art is so wonderful it consumes you and you are never at a loss for something to do." A collection of the artist's work will be on display in the foyer of the Brown County Art Gallery April 14th through April 27th as well as in the Spring Show in the Great Hall, on display currently through the end of May. |
