Biography
Biography
Cydra R. Vaux was born June 28, 1962, in Utah. She lived in Minneapolis until age 5 and then in California from age 5 to 7, before she and her family moved to Pittsburgh, where she resided through high school. Vaux attended Seton Hill University, where she received a B.A. in theater in 1985. In 1995, she returned to Seton Hill, where she completed work for her art education certification. From 2000 to 2013, Vaux worked as an art teacher at Shadyside Academy Junior School. Vaux's work studied the female figure in terracotta and was rooted in traditional and feminist art history. Vaux's sculptures have been shown at the Brooklyn Museum, American Jewish Museum, Three Rivers Arts Festival, Manchester Craftsmen's Guild and numerous galleries in Pittsburgh. Vaux died July 13, 2013, of breast cancer.
