BIO
Judith A.
Jewer is a visual artist. She is fascinated with the process of seeing,
and takes great pleasure in the visual world - especially the natural
world. Judith paints outside "plein air" using acrylics and
has been exploring landscape motifs of Ajax and Pickering locations. Judith
also creates works of art in the studio and enjoys multimedia, soft pastels,
still life, florals, and mandalas.
Judith loves
teaching and works with both adults and children to share her knowledge
and love of art. Judith
teaches how to paint with acrylics and how to draw both privately and
for the Town of Ajax.
Judith has
a B.A. in painting and drawing from McMaster University. Judith has a
diploma in Graphic Design from George Brown Collage and also works as
a graphic designer from her home office.
Judith is
very active in the arts community in Durham - she is presently the workshop
coordinator for Ajax Creative Arts, as well as being a member of:
- Pine Ridge Arts Council
- Durham West Arts Centre
- Ajax Creative Arts
Judith's
art has been influenced by many different artists. She especially loves
the "Group of Seven" and the "French Impressionists."
She also loves Emily Carr's work and paintings that capture the spiritual
essence of the northern landscape.
Artist's
Statement
I love the
experience of painting, especially painting outside and find that nature
awakens in me a sense of heightened joy in being. I especially love to
create beauty through shapes and textures. I love bright colours and developing
a sense of the quality light and spatial depth in my paintings. My style
utilizes the full range of acrylic painting techniques from textures to
glazes.
When I am
outside looking at the trees and the sky I am totally engaged in the process
and everything else is forgotten. The light, the breeze, the sounds, all
of these sensations influence the process of painting. It is fun, it is
what I want to do. I also want to help others to get the same pleasure
from painting, through sharing my own work and teaching them to create
their own.
