The Fire Within

Judi is an innovative artist who 'paints with a camera', using light and movement to create expressive, impressionistic visual stories. Her work encourages quiet reflection and emotional connection, shaped by her personal journey through workplace bullying, depression, anxiety, and PTSD. For Judi, art became a path to healing - transforming trauma into beauty and resilience.

Judi's evocative images have been exhibited in Brisbane and internationally, receiving numerous awards. She also explores acrylic abstract painting, where she combines bold patterns and dynamic lines to produce vibrant, rhythmic compositions. Across both mediums, Judi delves into the emotional landscapes of mental health, inviting viewers into a space of contemplation and discovery.

Some days, the mind feels like a storm - loud, tangled, overwhelming. Thoughts spiral, emotions crash, and clarity fades. But within the chaos, something quietly forms: a glowing centre. It's not the absence of struggle, but the will to heal; to grow; to keep going. This flame isn’t destruction - it’s transformation. Mental health isn’t linear or complete; it’s a shifting, living force. And within the confusion, there is meaning. There is you - still burning, still becoming.
