well hello there
My name is Car Cox, and I am a ceramic sculpture artist based in Georgia. My main concentration in ceramics is making hand-sculpted, life-sized busts (shoulders & up) of a vast variety of fantasy creatures and animals for people who want to see their ideas come to life and just because it's fun to do.
I would absolutely love to bring your ideas to life—whether it’s a cherished pet sculpture, a creation of your favorite animal, or a completely original creature from your imagination. Creating meaningful, one-of-a-kind pieces is at the heart of what I do! I do personalized orders and commissions for busts and whatever other projects you have in mind! :)
Please send me a message on the contact page if you are interested.
My Etsy store is officially up and running, so please feel free to shop some hand-made smaller pieces!
about the artist.
Car Cox (they/them) is a sculptural artist originally from Augusta, Georgia, and will soon start studying at Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) in June 2026, majoring in furniture design with a minor in ceramics. Car believes it is essential to develop the entrepreneurial skills and abilities necessary for the creative industry, so they have nearly completed their Human Resources Specialist Certificate at Ogeechee Technical School to gain more insight and skills in the entrepreneurial world. Creating unique and extraordinary life-sized busts sculpted out of clay and making custom art for individuals is part of their dedicated passion. In 2025, they opened a successful small business on Etsy selling smaller items such as incense holders to allow those with a smaller budget to purchase them. However, ultimately, having their pieces in people's homes and seeing individuals' reactions to the art is what truly brings them the most fulfilling joy and pushes them forward.
At the start of high school, Car thought they had no artistic talent. However, they would soon prove themselves wrong after taking ceramics in their sophomore year of high school. After being given an assignment to sculpt a bust of the artist's choosing at the end of the year, Car chose to hand-build a unique and imposing giraffe head. Overall, this bust is what truly piqued their interest in the art of ceramics and is what drove them to start the creative journey they are continuing to embark on today.
Later on, as a senior in high school, they took another ceramics class that year, and at the end of that year, the next creative bust was imagined and sculpted as it took inspiration from the fantasy realms. The piece resulted in an innovative intermixture of a cobra-like snake and a mythical dragon. Thus, the "The Serpent King: Snake Dragon" was born. This project specifically demonstrated the benefits of exploring new methods, and it taught them the value of trying new things with the challenges they came across during this project. Afterwards, the sculpture was entered into the high school's multi-disciplinary art show and won "Best Of Show" out of all the ceramics pieces entered.
