Talbot Cox, CAIB, FIB, AEP (Unisa) was a successful banker before embracing art as a profession on his retirement in 1999. He established himself as a portrait and fine art artist and has had many exhibitions, live demonstrations, and workshops. Talbot is multitalented: he is a classically trained musician and has played the double bass in the Eastern Cape Philharmonic Orchestra for some years. His varied interests include sailing and philately (in which field his gold-class collection has won international honors). He is a keen golfer, an inveterate traveler, and an ardent armchair sports fan. Talbot is also a published author. His recent book Senior Moments (ISBN 978-0-620-45411-7) has been well received. Talbot and his wife, Elyse, renovated two historical cottages adjacent to each other on the magical cliffs of Schoenmakerskop, overlooking the sea. They share Seashell Cottage with two dogs, a cat, and a multitude of birds, and Periwinkle Cottage is where Talbot has his studio and gallery. They have four children and four grandchildren. www.talbotportraits.co.za
