SUMMARY:Fourth Friday at Momentum Companies – Featuring Judy Hintz Cox & John Sharkey
DESCRIPTION:MoMentum Companies & Art in Bloom Gallery are continuing their collaboration in 2025! Join us in downtown Wilmington on Fourth Friday Gallery Nights. We are featuring the original work of artist\, John Sharkey\, and gallery artist\, Judy Hintz Cox. \nThe opening Fourth Friday Event is January 24\, from 6-9pm\, and the show runs through April 1\, 2025. This exhibit will also be open for the following Fourth Friday events on February 28 and March 28. \nView art Monday-Friday from 9am-3pm at MoMentum Companies at 103 S. 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.

She travels extensively for inspiration for her painting and frequent visits with family across the United States. \nShe received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in painting from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro\, with additional training at the Arts Students’ League in New York City and the University of Georgia Studies Abroad Program in Cortona\, Italy.  Virginia has lectured and taught many workshops and classes in painting and drawing and on illustrating children’s books. \nShe is widely known for her design and construction of the Minnie Evans Bottle Chapel and Sculpture Garden at Airlie Gardens in Wilmington\, a structure built with mortar and thousands of glass bottles\, inspired by the art of the visionary artist who worked in the garden for many years as a gatekeeper. \nIn 2000\, Virginia donated the sweeping mural which is permanently installed on the ceiling of the new atrium at Columbine High School after the tragic shootings there.  It is comprised of twenty painted panels which lift the eyes to a perspective of a Colorado forest of evergreens\, aspen and sunlight. \nShe has written and illustrated many children’s books\, including three John Burroughs Nature Book Award winners:  A Desert Scrapbook\, An Island Scrapbook\, and A North American Rain Forest Scrapbook. \nHer most recent work has included a one-person exhibition of 120 road trip oil paintings at the Cameron Art Museum in Wilmington\, a “pop up” exhibit of new oils and watercolors at 216 N. Front Street sponsored by Art in Bloom Gallery\, and a Cameron Art Museum exhibit\, “The Lived-In Body\, Celebrating Women Over 65.”
