The San Geronimo Valley Community Center is proud to present the art of Judy North in her show Judy North: A Painter’s Book of Days in  the Maurice Del Mue Galleries during the month of March.

Valley artist, Judy North, studied painting at the Otis Art Institute in Los Angeles and at the San Francisco Art Institute in San Francisco.  She taught at Bennington College in Vermont, the University of California at Davis and the San Francisco Art Academy.

Judy North writes of her show:

“A Painter’s Book of a Day. These cautionary tales, perceptions, poems, meditations, and mysteries are my way of thinking in pictures. They are snapshots of my mind. I have long been involved with a common theme.

A union of opposites. Even my painting techniques are involved with it.

A quote that I have had pinned to the wall in my studio for years says: “The opposite of Love is not Hate, it is the persistent use of the rational mind.”

There is a table in my studio piled high with hundreds of images that I have collected over time. The sum total becomes a giant tapestry.

The pictures move, they collide, they exchange energy, they build and fall back. It is a table with multiple questions and answers.

A collage will surface and start to take a shape of its own, maybe a face, perhaps a story, and it will become a painting. My rational mind has learned to relax. It will recognize the rightness of the vision.”
