THE ART OF
Judi
Wild
ARTISTS STATEMENT
"A new work of art begins a long time before my brush touches the
board.
I begin by researching the subject fully and compose the scene in my mind.
Sometimes it can take several days, months, even years before the art takes
physical shape. Then I actually become one with my art. I use all my senses
to compose - I smell the grass - feel its touch - hear the gentle breezes.
It becomes a delightful obsession, where I become oblivious of the outer
world"
ABOUT
THE ARTIST
Judi believes that we are all a composite of our past. She is now using
all the
experience gained from her 11 years that she spent as a draftsperson
and the
additional 11 years spent as a grapher designer to personally e decorate
& enhance
her artwork. As well as having fun, Judi enjoys giving more of
herself to each of her
lithographed prints and hopes to make each one very special & unique.
She is represented in the National Archives of Canada, and her art
is displayed
world-wide in many corporate collections. She has won several competitions
including the "Peoples Choice" award at the 1996 Brant Festival and again
in 1998.
Judi has developed and mastered the labour intensive method of applying
watercolors using the "drybrush" technique. This gives her
work that "extra" in delicate
detail which she tirelessly portrays. With such a busy schedule,
Judi regrets that she
is no longer able to set aside the necessary time to teach her unusual
painting
style to eager students in the Comox Valley.
