Judy Wood is a
Canadian glass artist with over twenty years experience in her
medium. A specialist in realistic original design work, she has
become well known for her animal work, particularly dogs and horses,
although she is interested in all aspects of the natural world.
Other subject matter portrayed in her work includes rodeo and
working cowboys, Native people, both contemporary and historic,
polo, racehorse and carousel art.
For the past several years, Judy has worked exclusively in the
medium of glass mosaic. This allows her to do the highly detailed
work she enjoys, while at the same time producing a virtually
non-breakable, unfading work of wall art. Mosaic has a tradition
going back over four thousand years, and is one of the classic art
media now enjoying a revival.
Judy has shown extensively in western Canada, and her work is
featured in collections all over North America and beyond. She has
shown her western work at the world famous Calgary Stampede, and
exhibits regularly at Spruce Meadows in Calgary, home of some of the
top equestrian events in North America. Her work has also been
featured in the prestigious horse art magazine, The Equine Image,
and in British and American mosaic design books.
Judy is based in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada, in the heart of
the Canadian prairies, where she grew up, married and raised her
family (two daughters, now mothers with sons of their own). An
active horseowner and rider, Judy schools dressage with her 17 hand
Canadian Warmblood (Holsteiner/TB) while her senior Thoroughbred
enjoys a well earned retirement. On the home front, Judy and her
husband share their space with two Boxer dogs and two SPCA special
cats. |
