Wyoming Women to Watch: Artist Katy Ann Fox

Katy Ann Fox wanders through the West witnessing windblown mountains and sunlight to gather emotion and imagery for her landscape paintings. Her oil paintings host a feeling of peace and respect for her subject as she focuses on texture and color harmony. She grew up in north central Idaho, moved to San Francisco, California for her Masters in Fine Art degree at the Academy of Art University and now makes her art at the foot of the Teton Mountain Range. In addition to painting, she does woodblock printing and hand thrown pottery and some sewing. Katy majored in business economics at the University of Idaho, with an art minor. She went on to study painting at San Francisco’s Academy of Fine Art where she received a master’s degree in fine art. After school, Fox moved to Jackson Hole. By 2015 she was celebrated as the Art Association’s Artist of the Year. She is noticeable figure in the region’s arts community, teaching pottery classes for the Art Association, painting a mural behind Trio Restaurant, assisting with programs and events at the National Museum of Wildlife Art, and exhibiting at Altamira Fine Art and in the Center Theater Gallery. Katy is one of five Wyoming artists selected for Women To Watch. The 2024 exhibit is the National Museum of Women in the Arts biennial exhibition series that features underrepresented and emerging women artists who create in any medium including, but not limited to, painting, sculpture, print, drawing, photography, film, digital, installation, and sound. Wyoming will participate for the first time in NMWA’s Women to Watch exhibition, held in Washington, DC in 2024 and Fox is one of the five inspirational and talented artists chosen from across Wyoming to be invited to submit their work. BUT, only one will be chosen to be on exhibit in a collection at the National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington D.C!
