Baker Artist Portfolios

Peggy Fox is a photographer, painter, and mixed media artist. She grew up outside Philadelphia and moved to Baltimore in 1962.

Combining her photographic images and paint on worked aluminum, her narrative illustrates poetically the dilemmas of being human and in this time.

She also combines and reworks her images in her computer to  make archival pigment prints.

Her mural for the Maryland Transit Authority, "Lost In The Cosmos" is a two hundred foot work in porcelain enamel on steel along the platform level at The Johns Hopkins Hospital about travel from Baltimore into the stars.

A book of her photgraphs, with folklorist Ali Kahn , "Patapsco: Llfe Along Maryland's Historic River Valley." was published by The Center For American Places At Columbia College  Chicago

"Dancing With Strangers", a book  of Baltimore street photography with poetry by Gary Blankenberg was an underground favorite.. Her documentary work and negatives are in the collection of the Library of Congress ,and at the University of Maryland Baltimore County Albin H Kuhn Library.

A request for a review of her work resulted in a one person show at The BMA.
Her education included Moore College of Art in Philadelphia and  MICA in Baltimore, and mostly   by her peers . She. was head of the Art Department at St Paul's School for Boys before leaving to become an independent photographer. Her camera has served in many ways; commercial work, both advertising and editorial, with  black and white and hand colored photography.

Her work is in the collections of  The Baltimore Museum of Art, The Albin B. Kuhn Library. UMBC, The Mathew Polk and Amy Gould Collection and the Robert W Deutsch Foundation as well as other private collections.

Retired from assignment  photography, Fox is now focused on a different sort of storytelling.
