Neil Z. Cox Figurative sculpture is my primary interest. I am fascinated with storytelling and try to flesh out some of it's breadth and subtlety of feeling in my pieces. My training has included work with a number of experienced artists here and abroad. I sculpt mostly in wood, stone, and bronze, but I enjoy working in a number of other media, including computer graphic modeling, snow, ice, and clay. The following are some career highlights. 2006 Group show of figurative sculptors at the Rainbow Cinemas, Toronto 2005 Group sculpture in sand at Harrison Hotsprings, B.C. 2004 Unveiling of bronze statue of Rev.
