The Friendswood Public Library is proud to host an exhibition of Judi Coffey's work. If you are a fan of beautiful abstract art (or representational art that leans toward the abstract), visit the community room and peruse her lively and inspiring works.
Judi is past president of the Watercolor Art Society-Houston and ISEA (The International Society of Experimental Artists). She is also a member of the Western Federation of Watercolor Society, Society of Layerists in Multi-Media, and the Rocky Mountain National Honor Society. Her works have been discussed or printed in The Houston Chronicle, American Artist Magazine, The West Wind Review, and many other outlets. She works in a variety of mediums including painting, watercolor, and collage.
Judi has a keen eye for combining vibrant colors with recognizable symbols and she frequently blurs the boundary between abstraction and representation. Her work conveys a sense of movement that is reminiscent of abstract expressionism but is more immediate and accessible than typical avant-garde painting.
"Painting abstract is my stream of consciousness. My collage works reflect my mood and my choice of materials. I love teaching workshops. The artists, using an unplanned approach, will stretch their imagination, leave their comfort zone, and find a uniqueness that is theirs alone."
"I am always trying to find new and exciting ways to present my works. Torn and cut pieces of a painting can become a whole new series."
"Some of the most beautiful things cannot be seen, they must be felt with the heart. I have always been a dreamer, a perfect way to describe my art."
"Color and flair for the unconventional play a big part in my paintings. Collage and a splash of acrylic paint create spontaneous designs, the perfect medium for my paintings."
