Art and Soul Gallery presents a retrospective exhibit to honor the memory and life of Jack Fox who died in his sleep November 4, 2002, Jack has been a member of Art and Soul Gallery since it opened in 1998. Jack was a member of the Watercolor Society of Oregon and Southern Oregon Society of Artists. His realistic and sometimes whimsical paintings have won recognition and awards in local and regional competitions.

In 1943, Jack turned down a scholarship with Wait Disney Studios and opted for a career of hot rods and auto repair. He and his wife Nancy raised three children in Monterey, CA. He was presently owner and operator of "Jack Fox Carburetor Service" in Medford. However, this scholarship was just an indication of the natural drawing ability that was waiting to be discovered again. In the fall of 1984, Jack started working with watercolors. His first attempts were "keepers" and each day he found an increasing desire to paint more. According to his wife Nancy, owner of the Frame Factory in Medford, Jack found renewed energy in life when he was involved in his painting.
