Fox \r\u003cbr\u003eMarilyn Fox was born in Brooklyn, NY and grew up in Queens.  She lives in Kutztown, PA where she maintains her studio.\r\u003cbr\u003eShe graduated from Kutztown University with a Bachelor of Science degree in Art Education. Various employment in the arts after graduation included writing art reviews for the Reading Times, and freelance work for several magazine and publications. She was volunteer with the Reading Redevelopment Authority as a member of their fine arts board, where she selected and recommended public art for the City of Reading.\r\u003cbr\u003eIn 1998, Fox secured a full-time position as Gallery Director\/Arts Coordinator at Penn State, Berks County. This opportunity helped develop her own aesthetics as she curated exhibits and developed an acquisition program to increase the college’s permanent collection. She retired after 20 years.\r\u003cbr\u003eFox spent years working with oil paint, focusing on landscape and still life, until several years ago she changed direction and began working with acrylic and developed her own style of nonobjective paintings. \r\u003cbr\u003eHer work is in the collections of: The Lehigh Valley Hospital; Connective Energy, Bethlehem, PA; Bank of Pennsylvania, and The Allentown School District.  Many of her paintings are with private collectors, including in Paris, France, London, UK, Dusseldorf, Germany and across the country.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eARTIST’S STATEMENT\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrimarily, art consists of nonobjective paintings on paper or stretched canvas. I use acrylic and sometimes mixed media. I start with large gestural strokes on my surface. It’s much like writing the first line of a poem. From that point, I built layers of paint, often scratching into the surface to reveal layers below. I continually add marks until the surface reveals itself and points me in a certain direction. Color and mark making are the subject in my art.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"may-queen","title":"May Queen","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAcrylic on stretched canvas.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e36x36x1.50\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe piece beautifully captures a sense of spontaneity and exploration.
