Kim Fox creates contemporary quilts in non-traditional materials; her process of cutting apart tins and sourcing wood is as much a part of the art as the assemblage of the pieces. Growing up in Western Pennsylvania informed her aesthetic, subject matter, and choice of materials. Kim began with more traditional painting and collage when she lived in Florida.

After moving back to Pennsylvania and reclaiming her roots, she started to explore regional arts and crafts with a more rural bent. For over 15 years she’s been working with vintage tins and salvaged wood and patchworking the material in a way that feels like quilting.

Fox has taken part in exhibitions at museums and galleries such as The Andy Warhol Museum, Pittsburgh, PA; the Rhode Island State Council on the Arts Atrium Gallery, Providence, RI; and the A.I.R. Gallery, Brooklyn, NY, among others. In addition to making her art, Fox is an art teacher in regional schools in Western Pennsylvania and also is a designer and illustrator, all of which lend a hand to the intricate designs and techniques found in her quilts.
