Artist Statement
Judy has been creating art her entire life. She began to paint seriously since retirement and is enjoying exploring new techniques and mediums. Because of her New England roots, she is drawn to harbor scenes, boats and architecture, but living in Southwestern VA has sparked her interest in mountains and landscapes. There are so many subjects to choose from and each painting is a chance to express a new viewpoint or try a new technique or style. Judy paints primarily with acrylics and watercolors and draws with pen and ink. She likes to use bright colors, especially shades of blue. Her interpretations can be found in an acrylic abstract, a watercolor lily pad or an old barn sketched in pen and ink.
As Judy continues to explore and create, he hopes that you will enjoyhjer work.
