Judy has explored various creative media such as literary fiction and short filmmaking, but she has always engaged in life drawing. Her fascination with portraying the human figure has become the focus of her art. She works in oil on canvas, and through this traditional means seeks to create a contemporary vision. Working the surface of the painting intensely, she builds up a succession of layers to express the complexities of the living flesh and the intangible nature of the human soul. Although realistic from a distance, when viewed in proximity the brush strokes can be seen to be loose, as if in motion, alive.
