Mimi Fox @ Brian Marki Fine Art

The Artist Goes to Sea; Paintings by Mimi Fox
Opens Friday, September 4 @ Brian Marki Fine Art, 5-8 pm
through September 30

Mimi Fox married a fisherman and wanted to understand his life and his experience at sea. To do so she signed on as cook for a four month tour. The Artist Goes To Sea is Mimi’s view of her experience brought to the public by way of painting. This collection of layered and dramatic paintings gives us a glimpse into life at sea on a working fishing vessel. Mimi uses color and texture to express her view of the sea and her experiences while at sea.

The history of artists traveling with explorers goes way back in time. It is through these drawings and paintings the rest of the world has a peek into another world. This power of image still resonates today with Mimi Fox and her collection of paintings based on her voyage to the open ocean.
