Literature

Nancy Jo Fox spent her childhood in Raleigh, N.C., and attended Ravenscroft School. As a teenager, the Fox family moved to Albemarle. After graduating from Albemarle High School, Jo attended Duke University in Durham, N.C., where she received a B.A. in art. While living in New York City and working at the American Folk Art Museum, Jo developed a keen interest in the genre, prompting her to pursue a M.A. in American Folk Art from New York University. Jo’s skill in color and design led her to become the instructor of Advanced Color and American Folk Art at the New York School of Interior Design. Her popular classes and fully booked lectures generated many former students-turned-friends with whom she kept in touch her entire life. Jo believed in the Keatsian idea of “the priesthood of the visible,” and introduced the concept to those around her through her love of color. Her favorite-and the correct answer if she ever asked yours-was purple.
