"In a world saturated with images, Fox captures something so authentic unique and rare… the Spirit of her subjects."
Cheryl Fox photographer + artist, found her love for photography at University in a dark room class and later polished her creative skills at the School of Visual Arts in NYC. From there she went on to shoot lifestyle images of family and friends. Many of those friends, now music’s biggest icons.
As a black woman, her career has unfolded solely by word of mouth and with no agency representation to date. Her professional career started with Fine Art, then expanded into commercial work being commissioned through friends and talent, for HBO and Showtime for Key Art, magazine covers, album packaging and ad campaigns.
Summers in East Hampton and holidays in St. Barts with iconic beings, like Sean Combs, Naomi Campbell, Beyonce and Mary J Blige to name a few created an ideal kick start for Fox's career in photography. It was famed photographer Steven Klein that told her on one of the trips, to take as many pictures as she could, for he as a professional photographer could not take his camera out and point it at anyone. So she did.
Fox captures the rarely seen vulnerability in her subjects. Unsure how to present these authentic images to the world, the private sector of Fine Art opened up to her work. Now represented by Mouche Gallery and Morrison Hotel Gallery in LA & NY.
Being introduced to NFTS as fine art meets cryptocurrency, opened up a bright new lane for her work. Fox dropped her Genesis NFT Collection SMOKE in December 2021. Her NFTs were featured at the 1st Decentral Art Pavilion @ the Venice Biennale in Italy from April - June. Then at NFT Gallery ARTCADE @ Fred Segal in Los Angeles July - September.
Fox, a single mother of two beautiful, brilliant young adults is from New Jersey and currently lives in Los Angeles CA. She attended Hampton University in VA and Kean University in NJ and graduated honors with a Bachelor of Arts. She finds delight inspiring young people, volunteering, substitute teaching at her children’s alma mater Sierra Canyon School, reading, writing, yoga, swimming, cartwheeling + golf.
