Each layer of Judith's fine art paintings - a combination of collage with hand-printed paper, paint and pastel - express a process of reaching into deep personal and spiritual awareness. Her recent works are reflections on nature, dreams, and women's lives through an explorartion of alternative portraiture, imaginative image, and expressive color.
