Voluntary Self-Identification

The Arty Crowd funding sources require inclusion of members who identify as belonging to priority groups encompassing: Indigenous, ethnocultural communities, rural or remote residents, youth, and Francophones (english and french). Hamilton Arts Council further wants to measure its success in attracting members from all the diverse groups we serve in the Greater Hamilton Area arts community, including those who are LGBTQ2S+, and persons with disabilities. We will use the aggregates of the information collected here to measure our success in making The Arty Crowd an accessible and safe space for all who join. We thank the members of the committee from the Safer Spaces Project who advised us in creating an inclusive self-identification process.

Biography / Artistic Statement / Creative Vision

JudyBlue was born and raised in Toronto. For the past 20+ years, she have made her home and studio in Hamilton, Ontario. She graduated from Sheridan College with a diploma in Technical and Scientific Illustration. JudyBlue has shown in over 130 solo, group exhibitions and shows in Ontario, Quebec, Newfoundland and the Czech Republic. Her work is held in both corporate and private collections throughout Canada, the US and Europe. She has completed artist residencies in Georgia US, Newfoundland, Ontario and in 2023, Shetland.

My landscape works are based on plein air sketches and scraps of memories to work up mixed media pieces combining different elements such as paper, ink, old books and acrylic paint.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>She is influenced by where the water meets the land. The Canadian shield and wetlands are all of interest.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

My abstract works explore impressions of under the sea. Using line, form, shape and a limited acrylic paint pallet, I build up layers of colour and pattern to create depth and movement. I hope to portray the human made tension in nature on the man made debris of shipwrecks and the rhythms of nature in a place few will ever go.
