She is best known for her fired clay life size figures of nude women and children that are realistically painted with casein paint. Her sculptures of children address gender roles, and her meticulously detailed adult nudes reflect her interest in feminist issues. Courtesan from 1995, in the collection of the Honolulu Museum of Art, is an example of the artist's life size terracotta nudes of small children. The Essl Museum (in Klosterneuburg, Austria), the Honolulu Museum of Art, the Mint Museum of Art (Charlotte, North Carolina), and the Museum Moderner Kunst (Vienna) are among the public collections holding works by Judy Fox.
In 2020, Fox's work was included as part of Intersect Chicago.[3] In 2022, Fox was one of fifteen artists who won the American Academy of Arts and Letters award.[4][5]
She is represented by Nancy Hoffman Gallery in New York.[6]
