Judy Attwood

Born in England and living in Athens, Greece, her work reflects both an element of storytelling and a personal life journey.
Drawn by the different culture and landscape of Greece, Judy Attwood left England in the 1980's, since then she has achieved many of her goals including a mastery of printmaking and in art education. Courses at the Athens Printmaking Centre opened up the world of printmaking and more recently Lino and woodcut workshops at Opificio Della Rosa in Italy have further extended her range of work. The etching process offers the chance to create plates made up of intricate lines, marks and tonal contrast. Her work develops through a journey from initial drawing to final print, intaglio offers the element of surprise and discovery. Recently she has been working on a series of circular etchings which offer an element of continuity and break from the confines of the rectangular format.

Judy attended the Victoria University of Manchester, she has been involved with art education in schools and art colleges in the UK and is currently Head of the IB Arts department at HAEF Psychico College, Athens. She has studied printmaking at The Athens Printmaking Centre and at Opificio Della Rosa in Italy. She is a board member of the Greek Printmaker's Association.

Judy has participated in many group and solo exhibitions in Greece and England. Most recently her work was exhibited at 'Art Thessaloniki' 2017, the 'Apothiki' art gallery in Limnos, and the Athens Printfest 2016.
