ARTIST – judith dunbar
As a self-taught artist, Judith established a thriving second career as a uniquely skilled dimensional painter. Invoking the allure of delicately frosted confections, her work explores the sensuality of texture, shape, and color through richly layered, sculptural painting. Far from minimalist, her pieces celebrate the ripeness and abundance of paint—its physicality, vibrancy, and power to evoke the earth’s lush bounty.
