PART THREE

    WHAT IS, 2002

judy hintz cox through rebellious strokes mastered the harmonious unity and freedom of colors, sacred geometry of forms and human feelings.

Judy Hintz Cox wrote:

"I love art. There are so many artists I have been influenced by that I cannot even begin to name them all, though one of my favorite artists is Wilhelm DeKoonig. When I was in my teens, I toured the Art Institute in Chicago, and could not leave. I sat for hours in a room full of Mark Rothko paintings and was so moved that I had difficulty breathing. I didn't start painting until I was 27, after my first daughter was born. Prior to this, I never believed I could paint or draw, then a friend of mine invited me to paint with her and I never stopped. After working with several artists, I decided to go back to school for a second degree in Studio Arts at the University of Maryland. I love to paint and draw and always feel discontented when I am not able to do it for a length of time."

QUIET RAIN, 2002

From her Autobiography

"I have always been interested in mental illness. My quest was to show helplessness, and isolation as well as feeling hidden away. People who are mentally ill are still not accepted in our society. Many families with mentally ill members are embarrassed and try to hide that member."

On Abstract Expressions, she wrote:

"I felt that I needed to get away from the 'heavy' feelings that were associated with the mentally ill series. This was when I felt I no longer needed to paint 'a message' in order to justify being an artist. The idea of working with a full palette was exciting. This is how I started painting the works that have a lot of color.

I would work on a piece for awhile, rapidly applying paint, and then sit back and look at it to decide the next move, work on it some more and sit back again and so on..."

SWEET HONEY, 2002

On Mixed Media, she wrote:

"Working with mixed media has helped me expand my palette. These paintings can be both fun and frustrating as I try to make all the different elements work together in the same piece."

FINAL THOUGHTS:

Judy Hintz Cox is a world class artist, a pioneer in her style and a visionary who brings to our eyes what the mind needs to feel in order to understand what the heart thinks. I was delighted to learn that she has been elected by the World Art Celebrities Journal as The International Artist of the Month for the Month of April 2003.
