Jude Woodland
Artist
I was born in Victoria, British Columbia. I studied art at the Institute Allende in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, and at the Victoria College of Art. Since my childhood I have produced works in watercolour, paper-mache sculpture, and oil/acrylic painting on canvas.
My oil and acrylic paintings are a collection of imaginative and representational realities. They are often mythopoeic landscapes that celebrate the glory innate in nature. Working with a vibrant palette provides an unlimited opportunity to represent the interactive life of colour. As I move beyond a sense of right doing and wrong doing I find a place to record personal interpretive journeys, a place of integrating creative expression, theory, and the abundant inspiration from nature. This calling of creativity and connection in nature evokes a sense of belonging and fullness. And, it is this feeling that I hope to share in my paintings.
