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 graphic designer to personally
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.
JUDI
WILD'S WESTCOAST SERIES
Judi's
fascination with their ancient totem poles of the Queen Charlotte
Islands
is visually expressed in her Westcoast Haida series. She has devoted considerable
time to researching the history of the area. "The more that I discover
about this
spiritual place, the more entranced I become". It is very important to
the artist to
share this knowledge, so the recipient of every print will receive an information
sheet. "Although these paintings are very different from my previous works,
I know that I was meant to travel down this path - perhaps for no other
reason
than to enjoy the journey as much as the destination".
