Marie Fox Painting A Day

http://mariefoxpaintingaday.blogspot.com/

Painting is my passion - still life and large figurative oils on canvas. For 15 years I created folk art, born of my memories of childhood in New England. For the past few years I've made small daily still-life art of fruits and vegetables, and objects both exotic and ordinary. Recently I've taken on the challenge of painting large - first still-life and now figurative paintings. The large size is thrilling, and appropriate for this 6'1" tall artist.

In August 2009 my large figurative oil painting "Sounds of the Sea" won Grand Prize at TAG Gallery's California Open Exhibition in Santa Monica, CA.

I’ve painted for many years and have created artwork for The White House, Panasonic, Toyota, Bigelow Tea, the Mayor of Boston and many private clients. My paintings have been featured twice on the Today Show as well as on the covers of Country Living and US Air magazines. I've been represented by galleries in New York, Boston, Nantucket, Charleston, San Francisco and Los Angeles.
