Biography: Judith Durr
Southwestern Fine Art Paintings, Giclees, and Prints by Choctaw Artist Judith Durr. Judith captures the sublime beauty and tradition of Southwestern Fine Art with an exciting and unique style.
Judith consistently demonstrates the rare and unique ability to touch the heart and emotions of all who see her work. Her "Signature" is the beautiful use of Native American rugs as a background. The detail is so complete, that it is not unusual to see a first time viewer of her work reach out and try to feel the fabric of the rug. Judith collects the artifacts used in her work, and some of these beautiful heirlooms have been passed to her through her family. The arrangement of her compositions and their histories are a continuing thread of beauty in all her work.
Judith's goal is to preserve the legacy of the "First People". Her paintings clearly demonstrate her respect for her Choctaw/Cherokee ancestry. Her genre includes First People's lives, Western life, Western landscapes, and historical research. Judith lectured at Northern Arizona University for the studies in Southwestern Life and Art.
Judith is a member of "Women Artists of the West", the "Indian Arts and Crafts Association", and is listed on the official Choctaw Nation Artists Registry. Judith is an native of Arizona, and her studio, Mountain Studio, Inc., is in Cave Creek, Arizona. She is dedicated to realism in her exquisite presentations.
"The 'gift' of painting can be taught. However, the 'gift' of inspiration,
dedication, and passion are within." Judith Durr
