He studied at Leeds School of Art and the Royal Academy of Art, he taught at the Richmond School of Art. At the Leeds School he became friends with Henry Moore and travelled with him in France and later in life to America. Moore was best man at his wedding where Coxon married a fellow student who he had met at Leeds, Edna Ginesi another artist.
