About
“Making abstract paintings is about trust and knowing that the individual marks become decipherable in a broader context. Abstraction allows me to tell a story , one that is open to interpretation. My hope is that the viewer brings his or her experiences to my work and makes the story personal.
The power of color, line and shape is empowering. I am inspired by how the three elements interact with each other. I use light to create space. My compositions emerge on their own, informed not by specific places but rather by memories, images and fragments of emotion. My goal is for the viewer to take it all in and share a feeling.”
Judi Brice is an abstract expressionist painter. Inspired by artists such as Joan Mitchell, Willem de Kooning, Helen Frankenthaler and Philip Guston, Judi users her inner compass as her guide. Working in oil on canvas, her compositions explore color and evoke an inner landscape of emotion. Judi also has a passion for collage and often uses printed images of her paintings in her collage compositions.
Working out of her studio in Haworth, New Jersey, Judi teaches art to students of all ages, both in individual and group settings, and is extremely passionate about sharing her knowledge of art. She is a member of Studio Montclair in Montclair, New Jersey, the National Association of Women in the Arts in New York City, and The Edward Hopper Museum and Study Center in Nyack, New York. Judi's work has been featured in galleries across the country.
