Originals

Judith’s artwork begins with her journal, writing and sketching, taking photographs and collecting natural objects like leaves or feathers. She prints photographs in a traditional darkroom and often uses the resulting black and white prints to collage directly onto canvas. Sometimes she has a pigment print made and uses acrylic medium to transfer the photo onto her canvas or other substrate.

She also incorporates original sketches, organic material, text and sometimes bits of maps or other texture into her collages; she then adds layers of color to “tie the work together,” often first with colored pencils, then with several applications of acrylic paint glazes until she reaches the depth of color that completes the piece.
