About JHC & Series Info

Contemporary abstract artists strongly committed to producing abstract paintings of such quality over a period of time are rare. One of these rare artists, Judy Hintz Cox, has been earnestly creating paintings for more than 30 years. She began painting while living in South America, after serving as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Ecuador. In the early 1970s, she began exhibiting her artwork, with initial shows in Peru and Brazil. In 1976, Judy returned to the US and continued to paint while teaching art in Seattle, Washington.

A contemporary abstract artist whose career spans decades, she continues to paint daily and is presently represented in dozens of art galleries throughout the United States, from New York to California. Her abstract paintings are becoming highly collectible and continue to increase in value. Judy is currently producing her contemporary abstract paintings and commissioned paintings in her Maryland art studio, located in Centreville, Maryland.

A Journey in Abstract Themes

Judy’s abstract paintings have universal appeal and continue to attract a wide variety of patrons including, celebrity fine art collectors, commercial offices, and homeowners who enjoy living with art. Personal, accessible, and honest, she divines a level of human consciousness that simply cannot be expressed in words. Judy’s skillful application of color and exciting use of mixed media evoke all that which is within – from meditative to whimsical and fun.

Abstract Artists Judy Hintz Cox posing with some of the White Gallery Paintings”I love art. There are so many contemporary artists I have been influenced by that I cannot even begin to name them all, though one of my favorite artists is Wilhelm DeKoonig. When I was in my teens, I toured the Art Institute in Chicago, and could not leave. I sat for hours in a room full of Mark Rothko paintings and was so moved that I had difficulty breathing. I didn’t start painting until I was 27, after my first daughter was born. Prior to this, I never believed I could paint or draw, then a friend of mine invited me to paint with her and I never stopped. After working with several artists, I decided to go back to school for a second degree in Studio Arts at the University of Maryland. I love to paint and draw and always feel discontented when I am not able to do it for a length of time.”

Obsessive about her work, she is extremely disciplined as an artist, painting seven to ten hours each day. Her galleries contain as many as a hundred paintings and continue until “either I have nothing more to say, or I become bored.”

Prolific and expansive, Judy continues to explore the many possibilities in medium and themes, including sheet metal, encaustic, photography, and much more. We invite you to check back with us regularly as we continue to add paintings and series by Judy.
