Judith Simonds
Vexation #2, Original Still Life Painting (Acrylic Paint), 2018

2018

About the Item

Artist Commentary This painting was on display during the East Austin Studio tour. It is #2 of my "Vexation" painting series. The first painting was just vines, this (the second) one has leaves, the third had roses and the fourth is winter. It took me a great deal of time to paint all of the leaves. I love this painting because of the female imagery and ambiguous space I created. I've been told that this painting reminds them of Magritte's surreal paintings. Keywords: Contemporary Artist Biography: Judith grew up 15 miles north of Milwaukee in the town of Mequon, Wisconsin, an old mid-western farming community transformed into a suburb during the early 1950's. It was there that she acquired a deep fascination and connection with nature due to the numerous open fields and woodlands. In 1991, Judith received her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee. Shortly thereafter, she moved to Austin, Texas to attend graduate school. She received her Master of Fine Arts degree from the University of Texas at Austin in 1994. Judith has been working with clay and painting for over thirty years. Her work is in private collections, and has been included in numerous invitational, and juried shows throughout the United States. She has also received various honors, awards and grants throughout her career. Judith continues to live and work in Austin, Texas. She has been an Adjunct Associate Professor, at Austin Community College for twenty years. Judith has also taught at Southwestern University in Georgetown, Texas, and a Lecturer at the University of Texas at Austin.

Mighty oak on a gold-leaf background by Italian botanical artist
By Margherita Leoni
Located in Milan, IT
The artist has an elegant mark of nature, and the experience of working en plein air allows her to capture emotions that would otherwise not be possible. She is considered Italy's best botanical artist and collaborates with many botanical gardens where she also holds watercolour courses, a technique she masters like few contemporary artists. The artist herself prepared the background in real, stainless gold, which gives it a modern, warm surface that chameleonically matches the colours of the surrounding walls. Margherita Leoni was born and raised in Italy, however, she spent most of her adult life in San Paulo, Brazil. It was there that she started a collaboration with the botanical faculty of the local university, allowing her to develop interesting research in rare botanical species studies and drawings. For this reason, most of her artworks, illustrate Brasilian botanical species, both rare and common. The artist's mastery of watercolour allows her to take part in botanical expeditions where she paints in plein air. Given her exquisite watercolour technique and her extensive botanical knowledge, Margherita Leoni is considered the heir of Margaret Mee. Among her most important exhibitions, three of her artworks were selected by Shirley Sherwood...
