Judy is drawn to the idea that nothing is permanent, that everything is in a transient state and that there is beauty in imperfection.
She is inspired by marks evidencing the passing of time in the ageing urban environment and the changing seasons, such as ageing walls, fallen leaves. She loves the surfaces and textures which seem to hold that sense of history and mystery. Her work echoes this process of change as she works in layers which conceal and reveal what went before. She uses fabric, paint, gesso and machine stitch to create a surface which constantly changes incorporating unexpected and accidental events.
Her work is abstract and she works on small and large scale.
