Artist Communicates Through Painting

In 1989, at the age of 35, Jeff Cox suffered a stroke after his morning run that left him unable to speak, read or walk. Applying his characteristic discipline and determination to his recovery—and with the help of dedicated health care professionals—he got back on his feet and back to painting, a life-long interest. His paintings will be on exhibit in the College of Health and Human Services’ second floor art gallery through February, and a reception that is free and open to the public is planned for Monday, February 22 from 4-6 p.m.

Growing up in a Kansas City, Missouri suburb, Jeff was inspired to paint by an artist in his neighborhood. He studied drawing and painting as a teen, but eventually focused on his interest in science and earned a Ph.D. in physiologic chemistry at Ohio State University. He then worked as a research scientist, first in Missouri and then in Kalamazoo at the Upjohn Company. In 1989 he left Kalamazoo with his family for the San Francisco area, where he conducted a research program at Genentech, Inc., a major biotechnology company. more
