Taylor Cox is an artist currently based in Racine, WI. She received her BFA in Drawing and Painting from Kennesaw State University in 2013. Her work combines elements of realism and abstraction with a focus on texture and color. Her work has been exhibited across the country, abroad, and at Liz Lidgett Gallery, Serena & Lilly and MOCA-GA in Atlanta, Ga.About The WorkPainting for me involves an incredible amount of building and piecing together. An intuitive, spontaneous process beginning with blazingly bright and optimistic color. I incorporate texture in my work to create depth of space and movement. Merging abstract and figurative elements each comprised of visual cues to places in my memories. I hope when people view my work that it takes them away for a bit. I imagine my beach scenes and abstracts as another world. It’s a happier world for sure.
