Judith Barrie

Artist's Statement

The interplay of reflected light and color with form on the painted surface guides my spontaneity.  This process blends with vibrant yet subtle elements hinting of familiar visual and literary themes.

About the Artist

Judith Barrie currently lives and paints in Germantown, Tennessee.  She has loved art, music, drama, dance, and photography from an early age, inspired by her parents who shared their love of the fine arts with her through drawing and music lessons, as well as, attending concerts, operas, and plays.  She received a Master of Science in Educational Media from Radford University in Virginia using her own photographic images, silk-screen work and music to create installations and to illustrate children's literature.  She has studied art in southern Spain, the Umbrian region of Italy, as well as, in numerous local workshops, and most recently at the Memphis College of Art.  Judith paints a variety of subjects in colored pencil, encaustic, oil, pastel, and watercolor, often incorporating images from her own photography. As a member of both Artists' Link and the Memphis Germantown Art League, Judith enjoys exhibiting her work in local art shows.
