The Art of Judy Larson
If one paints a picture of a beautiful animal one might pull at the heartstrings of a person who loves wildlife art. If one uses a more unusual medium like scratchboard, one also attracts those who love the detail, the realism of it. Camouflage can appeal to yet another group - people who love visual challenge, who like to see more."
Judy's unique approach to her work is through the use of the rare and demanding scratchboard technique. Working on smooth Clayboard, a board with a white china clay surface, she paints her subject solidly with black India ink. Then, using an X-Acto knife and blades that she changes every few minutes, she scratches out magnificent detail.
Two themes predominate, and often converge, in Judy's "art of concealed imagery": the precarious balance of wildlife in today's environment and the fate of Native Americans whom Larson especially admires for their intuitive understanding of ecological balance.
After receiving a B.S. in Commercial Art from Pacific Union College in California, Judy spent 17 years as a commercial artist, illustrator and art director. In addition to limited edition fine art prints, her work has been published in two books, Hidden Spirits: Search-and-Find Scenes from the American West, a children's book, and The Spirit Within.
