About Big Sky Workshop

Big Sky Workshop is an art education platform rooted in New York City and thriving online. Founded by artist and educator Kerry da Silva Cox in 2020, Big Sky offers thoughtfully designed courses, consulting sessions (Office Hours) , and creative resources that support artists across evolving stages of practice, on their own terms.

Our programs aim to connect personal well-being with artistic practice, nurturing sustainable creativity through both structured learning and individualized support. In addition to online programming, Big Sky hosts summer family art initiatives in the Queensbridge Houses community. We focus on the “big picture” of creative life, supporting exploration, skill-building, and the practical realities that sustain a lasting artistic practice.
