Judy Dougherty

I use vintage paper, dumpster-diving finds, mixed media and unconventional techniques to create works that intrigue and challenge the viewer.

My work is the result of a lifetime fascination with the fantastic, the childlike, the sinister and the kinetic. It is often inspired by children’s art. My art celebrates the similarities and human diversity in all of us.
I have exhibited my work in galleries throughout the USA and Canada for forty years and have created etchings, pen & ink drawings, collages, acrylic paintings and mixed media work.
