“The devil is in the details” is the motto of Judy’s art and process. Allowing words and imagery to be seen in her painted paper brings interest and significance to her work. The details are important;fun for her as she works, and surprising when seen, they provide a connection with the viewer that is unique and personal. Judy trained and worked as a graphic designer for eleven years before becoming a stay-at-home mom. Being an inventive parent was her creative challenge at that time, until she sought out art-making. Judy is influenced by conserving resources, her appreciation for life, and other artists not limited to: Rex Ray, Sister Mary Corita Kent, Peter Clark, and Andrew Wyeth. For the last seven years, Judy has worked mostly in the medium of paper collage. She paints recycled paper with acrylics to establish a pallet of colorful paper which she cuts or tears into bold & intricate shapes before adhering to a surface. The resulting collage often appears painterly until one looks closer.
