About

Bridget Fox is a landscape painter working in oil on canvas and wood panel. Born and raised in Dunedin, she is now based in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland, where she is studying at the Browne School of Art.

Her practice centres on landscape, specifically the places where land loses its certainty, and treats painting as a way of paying close attention to the particular atmosphere of a place: its light, its weather, the scale of it against a single figure standing on the shore.

Recent group exhibitions include the Hope & Sons Art Awards (Dunedin, 2026), the Tasman National Art Awards (Mapua, 2024), Urban Forms and Open Theme at the NZ Academy of Fine Arts (Wellington, 2024), and the 10th Hibiscus & Bays Art Awards (Auckland, 2024).

Her other current bodies of work include Black Sands, large-scale paintings of the Waitākere coast, and Vanishing in Green, smaller panel works made in suburban North Shore. Shark Bell, her most recent series, turns her attention back to the Otago Peninsula coastline of her childhood.
