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 Cox 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 Cox one of the top two most popular Western print
artists in 1999.While most of his time is consumed by painting, Tim Cox
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 Cox 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 Cox 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 Obisbo 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 Cox 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. Green Ranch is proud to offer you the outstanding work of
award winning artist Tim Cox.
Tim Cox was honored with one of the most prestigious awards in the world
of western art June 14th at the Cowboy Hall of Fame in Oklahoma City.
The National Academy of Western Art chose Cox's painting, "On to Better
Pastures", for the coveted Prix de West Purchase Award. Cox's was the
judge's favorite of the almost 300 paintings at the 2003 Prix de West
Show, which featured the works of ninety-two highly acclaimed artists.
The $20,000 oil was purchased by the hall to be part of the museum's
permanent collection. |
