Golden Woman  2022

The difficulties that come from being a woman are real, but there is also power and beauty. The complexity and wealth of womanhood belongs to women only, with their biological basis and shared experiences.

Did you know that if your bones are dug up by people years after your death, they will be able to see whether you were a man or a woman? Women are female to their bones, as men are male to theirs.

About Majeeda Cox:

Naive artist, Majeeda Cox, has a simple way of applying paint that creates quiet compositions with an element of intrigue that makes you want to know more. Her work explores being human, and the balance between vulnerability, isolation and connection. It commonly features women, animals, celestial and other natural elements.

The colour palette and sense of light in Majeeda’s paintings are directly influenced by living in the Noosa Hinterland in Queensland. Majeeda is an autistic artist and is self-taught. She has been painting since 1997, alongside an active interest in photography.

Majeeda recently added exhibiting at Recovered Futures Art Exhibition in Brisbane, and Eclectica Art Awards at the Butter Factory Arts Centre, to a long list of exhibitions, and she had her first solo exhibition at Pomona Railway Station Gallery in 2020.
