DI COX: ABSTRACTED IMPRESSIONIST ARTIST

ARTIST STATEMENT

My design approach echoes a country childhood fuelled by freedom and promise. Creatively I thrive on this freedom, working intuitively, driven by my love of country and nature, and proud Italian heritage. I have a passion for semi-abstract interpretations of our natural world. My contemporary works are a fusion, hallmarked by colour and translucency, where my watercolour training transmutes to my now preferred acrylic media. With this distinctive aesthetic, each work instinctively evolves into a unique and personal creation.

ABOUT THE ARTIST

A prolific child painter, things got real when the expectation of a real’ job was imposed. After completing her Bachelor of Physiotherapy, marrying and raising two children, Di thought her life was complete… But the undeniable facet of her being - creativity - remained close to her heart. Under the guidance of many respected and generous art teachers, a new chapter began in 2010.

Through extensive learning and experimentation, Di’s skills have developed in both watercolours and acrylics, her work a contemporary fusion of the two media. She loves to focus on a positive life balance, finding inspiration everywhere: as a practicing physiotherapist, she marvels at the strength of the human spirit; as an avid traveller: her award-winning photography is testament to that artistic ‘eye’; and in nature: parks, gardens, bushland - all feed her soul. She also spends her time giving back to her art communities through volunteering, at Art West Community Gallery and Royal Queensland Art Society: Brisbane.
