Born and raised in a small town in upstate New York, Judith Williams took an interest in art early in life. She was inspired by the drawings of her mother, Dorothy Rutherford, who designed clothing for the syndicated paper doll, Tillie the Toiler, which appeared in the Sunday paper nationwide during the 1930's and 1940's.
As a child, Judith's interest in art was obvious and she was strongly encouraged by her mother. Her interest in drawing and painting the human figure was shaped from these early experiences.
Judith's process involves a lot of editing and re-editing, digging and searching, painting and repainting, building texture with layers of paint and drawing until she is satisfied she has found the image for which she is searching. She is an impressionist painter interested in depth, shape and color to create impact. Her process of layering with paint, covering and uncovering, reveal the beauty of being human - flaws included. Judith's paintings are about a reflection of the deeper self. Her medium of choice is acrylic.
These are some of Judith's original acrylics.
