We're lucky to have some really amazing artists in our school community, and Fox is one of them. This is your opportunity to get a piece of original art by a major local artist (most likely at a bargain price).

Statement:
I have explored and observed nature my entire life. Its harmonies of form and color fascinate me and provide infinite inspiration for my paintings. I paint intuitively in response to the world around me, creating landscapes that are both soothing and provocative. Each setting is a composition of nature’s elements that are infused with personal experience and emotion. They are magical places that allow me the space and quiet that I treasure in our fast-paced world.
