You are invited for NEW ART EXHIBITION and Opening Reception by Judi Simon “Fruits, Flowers and other Things”
October 4, Saturday from 2 pm to 4 pm at Degallery. Admission is FREE.
A solo fine art exhibition and sale of original paintings by Judi Simon. She is a realist and representational artist who is inspired by color, shape, light and shadow of everyday elements seen in our daily lives.
Her paintings in oil, watercolor and oil glazes on fired porcelain seem to have added depth through the application of thin layers of color which adds a translucency to the elements that she paints.

Artist statement:
As a career medical illustrator, I have always been a technical, representational artist yet over the years, have developed eclectic tastes in painting subjects and how we traditionally view them. I am drawn to detail and how light and shadow visually affects objects and color within a still life, portrait or landscape, no matter what angle. I try to create depth and excitement in a painting by balancing the lights and darks within the colors and the overall composition. My goal is to draw the viewer into a painting and to spend time enjoying that painting.
