Artist Statement

Spirituality, a connection to nature, and social, political comment are important elements in my work.

Biography

Judith Myers was born in Toronto, Canada and trained in Modern dance before embarking on a career in visual art.  Her passion for the abstract expressionists gave inspiration to move to Europe in 1980 where the artistic ambiance was prevalent and conducive for a Canadian to study and integrate with the artists of the European community.  Arriving in Amsterdam with a background in teaching modern dance was the introduction that paved the way to being welcomed into learning ceramics, drawing, painting and mixed media. It took only a short time before her work was on display in exhibitions in Holland, France, Germany, Switzerland and Italy. She is presently living and working in Vancouver, British Columbia.
