Mixed Media Portrait #2 by Judy Pike
About the Item
Judith Minna Pike
December 19, 1942- October 18, 2019
Mixed media painting of a young thoughful woman, sitting comfortably. Pike used many different brush techniques when painting this portrait. Up close you can see repeated spirals of paint, creating the background. The woman is made up of bigger impressionist strokes with gouache. Details of the hands and face are emphasized with black pastel/charcoal. To the right of the piece, Pike includes collage cutouts.
Judy taught Spanish at Lincoln High School for a short time after college, but art would become her life-long passion. She experimented with clay and reiki pottery for several years but eventually transitioned to watercolor, oil painting, mixed media, and figurative drawings for the majority of her career.
In an artist’s statement around one of her solo shows featuring a group of mixed-media figurative pieces, Judy discussed her creative process.
'We are all more than one thing,’ said Judy, who encourages her models to play with different personas when they pose. ‘People are complicated and that’s what I try to capture in my work. Gestures, features, mood, clothing, choice, and facial expressions make a model unique and drawing becomes a conversation between the model and the artist. As I add layers, my goal is to clarify and deepen that conversation, revealing the model as an individual, not just a type.’”
An award-winning artist and juror, Judy’s work often drew on inspiration from family photos, both from her childhood and later years. Her art has been exhibited in several solo and group shows, including four featured exhibitions at the San Diego Institute of Art. In 2003, she was featured in Watercolor Magic Magazine Yearbook “Ones to Watch.”
Judy co-founded the Figurative Inspiration Group (FIG) in 2006, with the aim of creating a space for a unique collaboration between models and artists. She was an active member of the West Coast Drawing Group and curated a monthly art show at Adam’s Avenue Grille for several years.

- Mixed-Media Abstract Oil on Canvas by Cuban Artist Antonio DojerLocated in Pasadena, CAAn abstraction is a powerful tool that allows artists to question reality, challenge our understanding of the world, and expand our horizons beyond what we can see and touch. In this square format piece combining collage and painting, the artist - a romantic visual poet - is aware that all design is inspired by the Natural that gives life to thoughts in a way that is open to interpretation and subjective experience. Different shapes, round, cubic forms, line and strokes obtained by scratching, textures, words cut presented backward as a mystery that can be pierced. Through a process of cutting, layering, and highlighting, the artist imbues the materials and colors with deeper meaning. At the bottom, a grounded and strong base is strengthened by dark colors and the absence of forms and details. This technique of creating a sense of energy and motion within an otherwise static composition is fully mastered in this artwork. The composition's towering and upright shapes naturally guide the viewer's gaze upwards, creating a dynamic interplay between spiritual themes and verticality. Born in Havana in 1971, Antonio Dojer’s abstract work reflects the colorful culture, vibrant community, and often tumultuous social environment of his native Cuba. Yearning to create and express beyond the political rigidity of his country, Dojer went on to study at the San Alejandro School of Art in Spain...Category
