Artist in focus: Judy Shreve

“I am a storyteller and had to learn to tell a story with paints instead of with words. It is my desire to express from a true place and create an emotional response to what I see. It’s not always realistic, because I see this world in an intuitive-abstract way. And it is the feeling that touches my heart that I want to portray in my work no matter what medium I am working with. Every mark I make is a combination of all my life experiences. Each piece contains a lifetime of aesthetic experience and interest for me, a successful piece is one that opens a heart and creates a smile.”
