Judith A. Jewer is a visual artist that teaches several art classes at Art One Academy. She is fascinated with the process of seeing, and takes great pleasure in the visual world – especially the natural world. She creates works of art both in the studio and outdoors and enjoys multimedia, soft pastels, still life, florals, and mandalas.
Judith loves teaching and works with both adults and children to share her knowledge and love of art. Judith teaches how to paint with acrylics and how to draw both privately and for the Town of Ajax. She also teaches students of Art One Academy who come from Richmond Hill, Markham, Thornhill and other areas.
Judith has a B.A. in painting and drawing from McMaster University and a diploma in Graphic Design from George Brown College. She also works as a graphic designer from her home office.
Judith’s art has been influenced by many different artists. She especially loves the “Group of Seven” and the “French Impressionists.” She also loves Emily Carr’s work and paintings that capture the spiritual essence of the northern landscape.
Artist’s Statement
I love the experience of painting, especially painting outside and find that nature awakens in me a sense of heightened joy in being. I especially love to create beauty through shapes and textures. I love bright colours and developing a sense of the quality light and spatial depth in my paintings. My style utilizes the full range of acrylic painting techniques from textures to glazes.
When I am outside looking at the trees and the sky I am totally engaged in the process and everything else is forgotten. The light, the breeze, the sounds, all of these sensations influence the process of painting. It is fun, it is what I want to do. I also want to help others to get the same pleasure from painting, through sharing my own work and teaching them to create their own.
