Born in 1955 near London, Neil Cox was always interested in conservation and the environment and drew and painted wildlife from an early age. Whilst reading Law at Southampton University he developed his skills during frequent trips to the New Forest.Having successfully graduated, early interest from galleries and private collectors prompted a decision to return to his first love and pursue a career as a wildlife artist. Galleries soon showed interest in his work and he has since been very successful with exhibitions throughout Europe and the U.K. In Europe he has shown at the celebrated Gallery Florimont in Lausanne, Switzerland and for several years with Moll Brinks Konst in Uppsala, Sweden. His work has a growing following in the USA. The Bennett Galleries, Tennessee and Holland + Holland, California, amongst others, have exhibited his works. Both Sotheby's and currently Christie's have successfully auctioned his work, achieving prices indicative of his popularity and Phillips have auctioned his work in aid of the Rhino Rescue Trust, raising funds for endangered wildlife. His work has sold at the SWLA's annual show at the Mall in London and he has been a finalist in the European Bird Artist of the Year competition. Neil travels extensively, constantly seeking new ideas. His move from the Cotswolds to the West Country, where he now lives close to the sea in an area of outstanding natural beauty, has enabled him to gain fresh inspiration from the landscape and great diversity of wildlife in this stunning part of the country. His individual technique and approach to painting means his work is highly sought after by those who know and love the natural world or simply appreciate good art.
