Judith currently resides in the United States. She works as a multidisciplinary artist participating in regional, national and international exhibits and competitions. She completed her BFA degree in 1972 majoring in Art and Art History at the Little Rock UALR campus.
During the late 1970’s to the mid 90’s she worked as an independent commercial illustrator and in various roles within her family’s business operations. In 1995 she received an MFA degree with Honors in Studio Arts (concentration painting) from the University of Memphis, Memphis, Tennessee.
Her works are held in collections of private individuals, universities and corporations in the United States and in Europe. Much of her work comes from an “art for art’s sake” abstract expressionist perspective combined with what might be termed a mark makers sense of spirituality.
For me, making marks is the initial objective. Finding images that speak to me in an intuitive and expressive manner remains the goal each time I work.
I begin the process by listening to music, clearing, cleaning and adjusting studio work areas. I have found that removing older work from the studio area helps in clearing mental cobwebs that might block inspiration.
I think of myself as a painter or 2D artist first with no constraints. However, I also find working in 3D to be just as satisfying as painting or drawing or printing when I can physically handle the materials.
After years of creating work, I still find the beginning of a piece to be as exciting as I remember my first efforts.
