Judith is a Cincinnati based mixed media artist who loves color and working both in two & three dimensions creating works on canvas, sculptures and installations creating works with layers of complexity, intuitively layering paint, collage, found and collected objects and an ever-changing array of bits and baubles. She is represented by ADC Fine Art Consultants Gallery in Cincinnati.
Her professional career spanned psychiatric hospitals, residential programs and courtrooms in the mental health system in West Michigan, as well as teaching as an adjunct professor in topics of psychology in both West Michigan and Northern Ohio and later overseeing Career Services in multiple states for Brown Mackie Colleges. These experiences as well as her ongoing journey of personal growth and healing have influenced her art, as well as her strong feminist perspective. The overarching themes that flow through every body of her work include metaphysical elements, celebration of the divine spirit and finding joy in a world of uncertainty.
Judith earned a BA in Art and Psychology and a MA in Counseling Psychology and then continued to make art while raising her two daughter and working in her field of study. She has been exhibiting her artwork since 2003 in numerous juried shows in multiple states and is in collections in both the US and Canada.
MY JOURNEY
* From the prairies of Saskatchewan to the shores of southwest Lake Michigan, my life journey brought me to Cincinnati, Ohio in 2017 to start a brand new life. * While I studied art in undergrad, I accepted the pressures and "common wisdom" that no one really makes a living making art and ended up pursuing a career first in Mental Health and then in Higher Education. * Still, art has always had my heart . As I journeyed through 2 marriages, trauma, self doubt, perfectionism, breast cancer and the need to please, I lugged my art supplies and easel from home to home, turning again and again to art. Through art, I learned to play and to release self judgment. In time, I found my voice and my truest self, as well as a never-ending opportunity for learning, evolution and growth.
