Jim
Cox’s paintings reflect the traditional influences of the
Dutch masters as well as his visual and emotional interpretations
brought on by observation, study and painting from life as much
as possible. Jim’s interest in art began early and he was
enrolled in art classes by age seven. His art instruction continued
throughout his early education. He studied with New Mexico artist,
Ann Mann, Oklahoma artist, L. Dano Keys and continued on to study
architecture and design at Texas Tech University. Jim then apprenticed
with Texas artist, Dalhart Windberg, concentrating on landscape,
still life and Flemish technique. Jim furthered his studies in
Baltimore, Maryland where he was trained in the Atelier style
at the Schuler School and the Mitchell School, also focusing on
portraiture and figure drawing. Jim’s teaching experience
spans twenty-five years with both adults and youth in Texas, Iowa,
Maryland and New Mexico.
