Judith’s art is rooted in an enjoyment of textures and mark making. Surface quality being a distinctive element in most of her work, usually achieved through collage with paint and alternative media; interpreting and balancing the reality of the subject into a more contemporary/semi-abstracted form. A method she describes as wonderfully liberating. She experiments with texture, line, shape and colour, inviting the viewer to engage on a personal level and with a sense of place, whilst the big skies and open spaces of the Chilterns and Northumberland, have encouraged an appreciation for the natural surroundings. A career in teaching Design and Creative subjects, along with continued study through a variety of art courses, has exposed her to different techniques and artists, thus, influencing her style and composition. Courses include Combined Studies at Amersham College, Creative Art Training with Buckinghamshire Culture and, presently, a weekly active art group with Simon Brewster in Chalfont. Judith exhibits at Bucks Art Week and other local exhibitions (including Off the Wall at Bucks Museum, Chiltern Neuro Centre pop up art weekend, Woburn and local galleries.) She also provides art sessions for the members at the Chilterns MS/Neuro-centre, is a committee member for their Pop-up Art weekend exhibition and delivers art demos/workshops to local schools and art groups.
