Kellie Cox

Picture

​Kellie uses traditional art techniques to create modern botanical  illustrations, public art, murals and large scale botanical paintings. She is inspired by beautiful native plants, nature, trees, and wildlife that she observes on her travels with her husband and little furry dog. Her passion in life is to create beautiful pieces of artwork, both small and large. With her public murals she hopes to inspire the local communities to garden with native plantings to create habitats and food resources for our native wildlife. Originally from Delaware, Kellie spent a lot of her childhood frolicking through gardens and drawing flowers, which lead her to receive a bachelor’s degree from University of Delaware with a double major in Landscape Horticulture and Plant Science in 2009. Now working as a Landscape Designer for Ginkgo Gardens, Kellie continues to work in the horticulture and art field, expanding her inspiration and artistic expression.
Kellie’s inspiration for her oversized botanical murals comes from her memory as a young child, being surrounded by beautiful and colorful oversized plants in the garden.  When standing next to one of her murals, one feels as being in Alice in Wonderland.  One of the motivations for creating her murals is to show the fine details of plants and flowers. Interesting features of the black-eyed Susan include furry stems, bold yellow flower petals, shiny black centers and more.  Kellie’s hope with her murals is to also educate and promote the idea of using native plants in our landscape. Native plants are important to the preservation of our local ecology and our native wildlife depends greatly on native plants for their food, habitat and more. Native plants are also important for reducing water runoff, as well as creating beauty in our landscape. ​
