Fight or Flight

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.

This image reflects the experience of anxiety and the fight-or-flight response that can overwhelm me on difficult days. In these moments, I want to run, hide, and protect myself from uncertainty. Everything can feel confusing, chaotic, and unpredictable, leaving me constantly on alert. Yet even amid the turmoil, I can still see light ahead. Through the strategies and support I have learned, I am able to navigate the fear, regain perspective, and move forward one step at a time.
