Night Storm Painting

Judy Kalin was born in Seattle, Washington in 1945, and resides today in Moses Lake, Washington with her husband. Judy has been accepted into several juried shows including Northwest Watercolor Society (Bellevue Art Museum), Western Washington State Fair, and the Puget Sound Area Exhibition (Frye Art Museum) in Seattle. She is an active current member of Puget Sound Sumi Association since 2005 and Women Painters of Washington since 2013. Sumi (ink painting) has been her primary medium and has found this medium to be inspiring. Judy has a tendency to paint more contemporary, or western style Sumi. She also works in other mediums, such as oils and cold wax, watercolor, and acrylics. Her love for creativity is always an adventure when trying new mediums. “For me, painting is a process of suggesting information and mood to the viewer by means of shape, color, line and value on ANY given surface. I attempt to relate to the viewer emotionally. Often, the viewer completes the form, loses edges, changes shapes, enlivens or subdues colors as they bring their own experience and recognition to each painting. I am continually intrigued by the beauty around us and the ever-changing landscapes that our Lord has created. My joy is to attempt to create a fresh under-standing of what He has already created.” I am currently working as an abstract painter in acrylics and oils and cold wax.
