Judy Dimentberg

Judy is a contemporary artist based in Matagami, Quebec, whose work bridges abstract and figurative expression. Her paintings explore emotion, memory, and northern landscapes through layered textures and evocative form. Rooted in painting and printmaking, her work is inspired by the boreal forest — its textures, silences, and the subtle transformations it undergoes in a changing world.

Through layered abstraction, organic forms, and a deeply sensory approach, she evokes the fragility and resilience of ecosystems — from windswept clearings to moss-covered earth and sunlit fields of dandelions. Her art invites viewers to slow down, reconnect, and listen to the quiet intelligence of the natural world.

Judith lives and works in Matagami, James Bay, Quebec where she also facilitates creative workshops that link artistic expression with environmental awareness.

Exhibitions Highlights:

In recognition of her contribution to northern artistic and cultural life, Judith has received two grants from the Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec (CALQ) and the Administration régionale Baie-James (ARBJ).
Her evocative solo exhibition “Écofragile: paysages nordiques en photos et tableaux”(2024, Matagami, QC) included paintings and photos. “Vagues d’éternité: ombre et clarté” is her 2025 exhibition in Lebel-Sur-Quevillon which will also be presented for the Journées de la Culture in Matagami, Quebec at the Galerie d’art AU. These milestones reflect her deepening impact across northern Quebec’s art communities.

Judith has maintained an active and sustained presence in Val d’Or through solo and group exhibitions. Highlights include Croissance (2016, Galerie Connivence) and a solo presentation at Galerie Point Rouge (2022), alongside regular participation in VOART’s Espaces series and the PLODA art lending program. Her continued engagement affirms her artistic ties to regional culture and northern ecologies.
