Although Zen brush painting is only a recent interest for Judith Judy, her work has shown its uninhibited and ethereal vision of nature for quite some time. Her painting process itself is more Eastern than western; she responds spontaneously to each emerging form with new layers of colored glazes of opaque impasto. The completed images, seeming to spring out of some unstable, crystalline atmosphere into our consciousness, are held in place only by our own instantaneous and breathless reaction to them

“I want my viewers to bring something from themselves to see what they see.” Judy sees parallels between her creative process, the human struggle to find meaning and a place in the world, and the ever-evolving life of the earth. Just as economy is the rule in nature, she strives to say more with less. “The result is, I believe, always more compelling.” As we observe the visionary images Judith Judy has painted, it is possible to re-experience our own cherished moments of seeing natural beauty for the first time through our child-eyes.
