BIO
Kate Cox is an abstract painter whose vibrant, expressive works are shaped by a life lived close to the coast. Raised in Auckland’s seaside suburbs, she now resides in a character-filled 100-year-old villa in Kerikeri, nestled in the beautiful Bay of Islands, where she balances family life with a full-time art practice. With a background in commercial interiors and a Bachelor of Design, Cox honed her artistic voice through fine art courses and mentoring, eventually shifting her focus fully to painting. She is best known for her large-scale abstracts and abstract landscapes in acrylics, oils, and pastels, and has been a finalist in both the Walker & Hall Waiheke Art Award and the Estuary Art and Ecology Award.
