Judith Judy’s oil on board compositions are painstakingly built through layers and layers-really veils-of color. She, glazes, as well as splatters paint, to create both passages of transparency and passages of texture. As a result, Judy’s landscapes are deeply dimensional with mist swirling about mountains beneath which streams or glades are imaginable.

There is a romanic aspect to Judy’s painting. Yet, the emotional content is different; Judy is soaring, synthesizing natural elements in a heroic spirit, sharing the hard-earned view from a pinnacle achieved by a focused rock climber.

There is a sense of triumph in her work that remains the product of inquiry rather than a declaration. She inspires the viewer to, “Look harder and see more.”

Although landscapes are considered to be realistic because they represent what we see, Judy demonstrates that representational art is even more evocative and empowering of the imagination than most abstract work today.

Judy is a vangard artist, daring to restore meaning and aesthetic values to American painting.
