Fox's photographs are in the permanent collections of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts (VMFA), the Museum of Photographic Arts (MOPA), the Southeast Museum of Photography (SMP), The Patrick and Beatrice Haggerty Museum of Art at Marquette University, the Harry Ransom Center at the University of Texas at Austin and the Samuel P.

Her new book, One Foot Forward features insightful, powerful, and engaging stories of twenty widowed women and men.
