Tim Cox
Tim Cox was born in 1957 in Arizona
and grew up in the small farming and ranching community of Duncan, near
the New Mexico state line. When only 5 years old, Tim vowed he "was going
to be a cowboy artist" when he grew up. He
currently
lives in northern New Mexico and is considered one of the great western
artists of our time. U.S. Art's "Gallery owners survey" named Tim one of
the top two most popular Western print artists in 1999.While most of his
time is consumed by painting, Tim continues to raise cattle and train his
horses. He also finds the time to coach young riders who compete in
cutting competitions and other competitive horse events. Tim combines the
basic ingredients of color, value, perspective and pleasing design with
his desire to be a perfectionist in portraying the real working cowboy.
This attention to exactness is appreciated by most ranchers and cowboys as
well as the recreation horse owners around the world. In 1999, Tim was
commissioned to paint Kentucky Derby winner "Silver Charm" and a leading
racing quarter-horse sire, "First Down Dash". He was the featured artist
at the annual Cattleman's Western Art Show in San Luis Obispo and was
recently invited to show at the prestigious Prix de West Show at the
Cowboy Hall of Fame in Oklahoma City this coming June. Tim has won the
Olaf Weighorst award twice at the Mountain Oyster Club Art Show in Tucson,
Arizona. He is also featured in U.S. Art and Art of the West magazines. |
