About

Hello and Welcome! Thank you for visiting my portfolio page 🙏

I'm Fox Hauck, a queer artist based in Seattle. My work is rooted in acrylic painting, abstract expressionism, and vivid representations of nature. I explore creativity through phosphorescent and fluorescent pigments, adding an element of perpetual change to my pieces when they are viewed under different lighting conditions. My art delves into the mystical realms of nature and occult psychology, inviting you the viewer to experience a fusion of the seen and unseen.

I was born in the mid-1990s in Washington State, and my life narrative contains a diverse array of experiences. Form being raised on a modest cattle ranch, training horses, negotiating the process of coming out as genderqueer in a religiously authoritative rural community, and embarking on a vocational education in cosmetology at the age of 18.These formative events have significantly contributed to my personal and artistic development, manifesting in the bold, optimistic color schemes that I employ in my creative repertoire. 

Shortly after relocating to Seattle, I began to merge fluorescent and phosphorescent painting techniques with vibrant acrylic palettes. My creations, which I have named 'Dreamscapes,' exhibit abstract visions of nature and emotions, encapsulating a spectrum of impressionist landscapes and intricate feelings through bold and vivid colors. My spiritual connection with nature and the landscapes of the Pacific Northwest serves as inspiration, guiding my approach to painting with a profound reverence for the ephemeral influence that weather and landscapes exert on human psyche.

In my Dreamscapes, I harmonize color and texture to produce impressionist landscapes enriched with fantastical themes, often centering around nature-based motifs such as a radiant winter’s day, bold clouds, or a shadowy sewer. I incorporate fluorescent paints and phosphorescent pigments judiciously to enhance specific areas of the painting. When exposed to ultraviolet light, the completed artwork undergoes a visual transformative process, revealing new colors and underlying shapes. The interplay of ultraviolet light imparts a shift in some paint colors towards a darker, more emotional palette, while others fluoresce dynamically, altering the composition. The addition of phosphorescent pigments results in a fairytale glow-in-the-dark effect, especially pronounced at night and in dark rooms.

Presently, I am pursuing a Bachelor's degree at the University of Washington where I plan to further my passions for psychology, neuroscience, religion, and self-expression. During my free time, I engage in the solitary practice of Western Occult arts, offering services such as Tarot readings, Astrology chart interpretations, and other various forms of divination; all in addition to accepting art commissions.
