A New Day

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.

For me, each new day represents a fresh beginning. As the sun rises and light gently returns to the landscape, I am reminded that yesterday doesn't have to define today. This image reflects my ongoing journey of learning to let go of rumination; creating space for renewal, hope, and self-compassion. In the stillness of dawn, I find calmness and perspective. The warmth of a new day encourages me to pause, breathe, and embrace the possibility that each day offers.
