Judy Coleman was born in New York, New York, but now lives in Venice, California. Her education includes Cornell University in New York and the University of California in Los Angelos. She's had collections displayed all over the world and an impressive list of exhibitions in California, but also internationally.
She explains on her website that she discovered photography after becoming a newspaper reporter, and since, the camera has become her way of exploring body language, especially through the female form. Her technique blends photography, painting, drawing, and sculpture.
I think her art is incredibly beautiful, and sometimes it is difficult to tell whether something is photographed or illustrated, though I think illustrations are always involved. Her animal portraits are beautiful, but the following drawing just goes to show, even very talented people don't always make the best art.
I love these mixed media images! She combines all of these mediums so well...From just looking at these on the computer, it looks like the image (sculpture) is popping out of a 2D drawing...as if it is going to come to life and come out at you!
ReplyDeletethese are beautiful minus the last one. really love her work
ReplyDeletea lot of these remind me of cave drawings. the horses especially because they look like charcoal drawings of some sort.
ReplyDeleteStunning images! the textures, the little inscriptions, the drawings all tell an interesting story. It reminds me of Satpreet's view camera work from photo 2.
ReplyDeleteThe first photo/collage is beautiful. I think that this is the only one that really works for me. Some of the others don't have enough information to really keep me interested
