Margaret Zox Brown’s work provides connection. Her paintings and now also ceramic sculptures are of authentic feelings and intimate realities that she has experienced firsthand. Having lived through some difficult times, she found that her painting was what got her through. During those times, she chose to paint the beauty she was able to see in everyday moments despite her life struggles. Today she is always looking towards the positive, making work that highlights the beauty of those familiar moments. Her paintings are often large-scale, symbolic of the abundance of life. And her sculptures are small, reflective of the intimacy they are conveying. Being a lifelong New Yorker and graduate of both the Chapin school in New York City and Trinity College in Hartford, CT (B.S.. Psychology), Brown’s color language and quality of form are influenced by the city’s exceptional creative energy and the excellence of her education. And because she has created her art coming from a place of genuine appreciation for the everyday, through representational painting and ceramics, Brown makes it so anyone can identify with her art.

Brown lives in New York City’s West Village and works in her Garment District studio. For nearly three decades, she perfected her painting technique in weekly studio sessions at New York City’s iconic 92nd Street Y.  Brown’s paintings are in private collections worldwide, as well as public spaces including the lobby of the commercial building 462/470 7th Avenue, NYC among others. The artist has been featured in notable interviews; on television, in print, on podcasts, in art books… with WNBC, White Hot Magazine, Art of the Times, Create Magazine, The Flying Fruit Bowl and many more.
