by Kathy Sabo July 10, 2023

I am excited to shine the spotlight on Judy Wood, a remarkable artist from the beautiful province of Saskatchewan, Canada. With her unique blend of digital art and photography, Judy has captivated audiences with her mesmerizing creations that beautifully depict the landscapes and culture of Saskatchewan. Join us as we embark on a journey to explore the life, inspiration, and artistic contributions of this talented artist.

Wood's love for art started at a young age, and she honed her skills by studying Fine Arts at the University of Saskatchewan, completing in 1967. Her passion for creativity has led her to work with various media, experimenting with different techniques and styles. Her attention to detail and her ability to manipulate images have earned her recognition in the art world. In fact, her work has been featured in several exhibitions and galleries across Canada. By blending traditional art forms with modern technology, Judy has created a distinctive style that captures the essence of contemporary art and Saskatchewan.

Judy is a Saskatoon-based career artist, whose work is eclectic in materials and subject matter. Wood’s artwork stems from a deep connection to rural landscapes, farmlands, and the expansive prairie sky. She seeks to showcase the beauty of the changing seasons, from the vibrant fields of golden wheat in the summer to the serene, snow-covered landscapes in winter. Wood's pieces often portray weathered farmhouses, rustic grain elevators, and other elements a nod to her love of dilapidation and the fact they are usually in questionable shape.

To bring her artistic vision to life, with the help of digital tools, she adds her creative touch. By infusing her works with vibrant colors, dreamlike textures, and imaginative elements the result is a stunning visual narrative that transports viewers into a realm where reality merges with the artist's vision. Her artwork typically originates from the camera, but it goes through multiple stages, involving a blend of digital and traditional art techniques, before it reaches its final form. Her creative philosophy is that "reality is only a starting point."

Wood's artistic contributions have not only enriched the cultural fabric of Saskatchewan but have also left an indelible mark on the art world. Her ability to seamlessly blend digital art and photography enables her to create captivating visuals that ignite the imagination and evoke emotions.
