Front Street in downtown Wilmington\, NC. \nAbout Judy Hintz Cox\nJudy started painting while living in Peru\, SA\, at the age of 26.  That was over 40 years ago. \nUpon returning to the USA\, Judy worked as an artists’ model\, where she met established artists\, who critiqued her art.  This was invaluable. She was taught how to “see” color\, composition and expression.  Her quest to learn more gave her the incentive to enroll at the University of Maryland for a second BA\, in Studio Arts. \nMs. Hintz Cox resigned from her Psychiatric RN career to pursue art full time in 1999.  For the past 20 years\, Judy has developed a unique style as an abstract minimalist. \nShe has exhibited extensively throughout the USA.
