Gillian
Cox
Gillian Cox is a well travelled,
practising artist, who has lived in Spain Switzerland Scotland and England,
& moved to Cheltenham in 2002.
In 2005 she began structured
lessons at the Cheltenham School of Fine Art, where she refined her drawing
and observational work from life.
In 2009, she co-founded Crescent Art
Space, a studio and exhibition space based in Cheltenham.
Inspired by several tutors and
painters in recent years, she has developed a style in oils that forms a
bold, intuitive and thoughtful approach to painting, drawing upon her
initial observational practice at the CSFA. Gillian’s development of her
personal style has been through meditating on a particular subject or
experience within her own thoughts and emotions, sometimes incorporating
aspects of abstraction.
Using her imaginative flare,
she paints both everyday narratives in oils reflecting the journey and
feelings of her own daily life, alongside commercial paintings by
commission.
Gillian sees the final
process of her art works in preparing her own complementary frames,
resulting in a striking and unique end product.
