Judith Thompson is a San Francisco-based Mixed Media Artist. Her work consists of layers of paint and paper applied intuitively to the canvas and sanded back to reveal images that reflect an emotion, a memory, or a thread of common experience. A peek into the layers might evoke a story of a peaceful simpler time: Bird song in our back yards, picnics in parks, or even walks through imaginary cities or forests. With no agenda for what the piece will ultimately say, she follows the direction her art leads her. Birds symbolize peace, transformation
and freedom and they are our liaison to the natural world, both present and past. Using these kindred spirits as a focal point, and building the composition with natural images, colors, shapes and textures, she tries to connect with and honor the endless beauty and tranquility of nature. Judith has exhibited in numerous shows and her work is in collections nationally.
