Judith Crowe
The Westlake Village
Art Guild is pleased to welcome Judith Crowe for the May 6, 2008 Buffet Dinner and Art Demo Meeting.
Judith Crowe took her first art lessons at age five. She states,
“Painting and drawing have always been a source of pleasure for me and an
important part of my life. My first art lessons were a gift from an aunt and
uncle. Artists themselves, they arranged for a friend to give me drawing
lessons. I have since worked with a variety of drawing and painting media,
including oil, watercolor, colored pencil and pastels. Although my degrees
are in education, I did take art classes as electives and continue to take
workshops with artists such as Glenna Hartman, Martha Saudek, Brenda
Mattson, and Clark Mitchell. I also work with several other artists every
Wednesday at Bert Collins’ studio in Ojai, receiving support and critiques
that help me continue to grow."
Her style is representational and focuses primarily on landscapes, although
she sometimes include figures. Her paintings are consistently described as
tranquil, peaceful or serene. She tries to portray the landscape with a
focus on composition, shape, light and shadow while experimenting with
interesting color combinations. She paints both en plein air and in the
studio, often beginning outdoors and then finishing inside with the aid of
photographs.
Judith is a member of the Pastel Society of the West Coast, Thousand Oaks
Art Association, Ojai Art Center, Buenaventura Art Association, Camarillo
Art Center, Westlake Village Art Guild, Arts Council of the Conejo Valley
and Ventura County Arts Council. Her work has won numerous awards. She has
shown at galleries and art events in Thousand Oaks, Morro Bay, Pismo Beach,
Ojai, Ventura, New Orleans and New Hampshire.
