Judy's primary work is in acrylic or pastel but enjoys creating mixed media and installation art.
Motivated by the richness of Northern California history and the verve of the people who wish to preserve what constitutes 'landscape', her work has evolved where land is a constant underlying theme. With vibrant and energetic brush strokes and deliberate use of color she creates imagery that evokes sentiment, testimony and contemplative protest.
“My art is a very personal extension of myself, my emotions, my interests and passions. Every piece I create is my visual voice, either through subject matter, color selection or brush stroke. It is my conversation, my dialog.
I have always had a love of the land and moving to the county intensified the emotion. It’s only natural that my artwork reflects this passion.
Whether it is the line and rhythm of the rolling hills, the freshly harvested produce from our garden, the way a shadow falls across the grass from a nearby tree or rich farmland shadowed by development, the theme is always consistent~ the land.”

The Fire Never Dies
This is an ongoing artistic journey for me. After losing our home and more to the 2020 LNU Fire in Northern California I have been creating a body of work relating to this experience. This will be an expanding project as work is completed over time and healing.
