Artist Statement
Karen Cox
“Be bold and fearless in your art” is my motto.
I love playing with design and color. My goal is that the viewer marvels over these in my paintings but doesn’t quite know why. I want the viewer to make their own journey, discovering areas that move them across the canvas and excite them along the way.
It is that thrill of the dance between light, color, and shape that excites me to create in many media—encaustic, oil, acrylic, collage and mixed being my favorites, imagination being the catalyst.
Take Risks. Paint with soul.
Bio: Karen Cox was a successful interior designer for over 35 years. Her love of color and design led her to pursue her passion of painting contemporary, abstract and imaginative art.
