Tipping the scales – solo exhibition – Maybaum gallery, San Francisco USA

Tipping the Scales is the fifth solo exhibition with Belinda Fox and brings together a new series of paintings that explore growth and the strength of nature in a time of deep uncertainty. With so much conflict, displacement, and environmental crisis around us, Fox felt compelled to make work that offered a quiet resistance — an intentional act of optimism. These paintings are my way of trying to tip the scales toward something more compassionate and healing. As with much of her work, she combined a range of techniques — watercolor, ink, pen, collage, spray acrylic, and encaustic wax. The layered surfaces and botanical elements speak to a love of materials and mark-making, and to the richness she finds in the natural world — not as a form of escape, but as a vital source of resilience.
