Featured Artist - Judith parr Eaton ma
I studied at Hammersmith Art School ( now known as Chelsea) Foundation and fine art and where we were fortunate to be introduced to a wide variety of materials from print, concrete, metal, acrylics, resins, ceramic & glass all very experimental. From Hammersmith I went onto the Royal College of Art to study Stained Glass & Design again quite an experimental course incorporating sand blasting, etching and resins.

As a student I was influenced by artists such as Willem de Kooning, Alan Davie
and Roger Hilton but mainly by my tutors, Ruskin Spear, Adrian Berg and Pauline Boty.
After a gap I studied for my PGCE and began teaching at Secondary level, Fine Art & Ceramics
followed by teaching Graphics and Photography at 6th Form College. I have also taught adult
watercolour classes.
I have always painted often using watercolour and gouache but now with more time to develop my
own ideas my work has changed . It is now larger, bolder and looser and using acrylic paint allows me freedom to explore & experiment . I just love the quality of paint and what it can achieve
especially when the paint is thick and well worked. I think my time studying and making stained glass has subconsciously influenced how I work, I often don’t see a connection but others do, which is interesting!

My painting was oddly representative but it has become more abstracted using my imagination and
own interpretation of a place or time. Walking a dog regularly has meant I get to know an area of
landscape very well, make sketches, notes and take photographs which I put to one side when I begin to paint so that the painting becomes itself and my interpretation of it rather than a copy. So it could be called a remembered landscape. I find colour somehow magical and although I do try to limit my palette , colour always seems to seep in subconsciously!

I often paint remembered places where I have lived attempting to capture their essence which I have
found to be a very interesting experiment; also cities I have visited where I again attempt to put in
paint how I felt about the place.
I paint as regularly as possible and have a plan and new theme for the future, to be bolder with space and form.
I have exhibited in London and widely throughout the South.
