Nature's Kaleidoscope of Color | Forward Montana

On April 4th, Forward Montana, 736 S. Higgins Ave., is pleased to present Nature's Kaleidoscope of Color, a mixed media exhibit from local artist couple Amanda and Danny Cox. Primarily focusing on the beauty of plants, animals, and parental love, and incorporating imagination and fantasy, this exhibition includes works in watercolor, oil pastel, acrylic, colored pencil, collage, masks, and sculpture.

Native Montanan Amanda Cox grew up in and around Missoula with a family that has a close bond with nature. Watching local habitats shrink as the human population grows has instilled a desire to focus on preserving nature and beauty. In a fast paced industrial world, nature provides a therapeutic subject matter for art where imagination may live free.

Danny Cox has been an art enthusiast since childhood, always encouraged to move forward by family and friends. He draws his inspiration out of nature and her creative existence, trying to capture joy, happiness, solace, and peace. Mostly self taught, he has had training in high school and at the University of Montana. Currently, he and his wife live in Turah, raising their son.
