She builds and excavates her surfaces with paints, oil sticks, ink, pencil and collage, revealing traces like memory.

Her figurative works address the tension between religion and procreation, while her Boats (Vessels) carry people, goods, and culture across time and space.
A Conversation with the Artists
Saturday, January 10, 2-3:30 PM

Judith Johnson became serious about her artwork at her magnet high school in Dallas, TX and earned a BFA in studio art at the University of North Texas. She creates thematic series in multiple media including paintings, drawings, monoprints, and assemblages.
Despite many catastrophic events in her life, Judith has continued to create artwork that celebrates the human condition: history, humor, appreciation of nature, dreams, maps, daily life. She draws inspiration from her garden, cycling (her primary form of transportation), wandering, and the archives of her immigrant grandparents. Judith supports her community’s art scene by being a docent at The Crocker Art Museum and as a member and volunteer at the Verge Center for the Arts.
