Judith Harvey

With her artwork Judith hopes to convey a sense of tranquility and simplicity, using a minimalistic approach to theme, color and form. 

With regards to her inspiration she states, "Painting brings me closest to rediscovering a deep connection to nature. I try to imbue the work with a sense of harmony and serenity. With the landscapes I paint from the heart, with still life from the intellect"
