Judy Swerlick

My watercolor and acrylic paintings reflect the diverse cultures and environments in which I have lived or traveled. I am a lover of detail and realism and have drawn or painted all of my life. In my paintings I attempt to bring to the viewer the emotional response I have to the people, landscape or setting I am capturing in paint and hope to inspire the viewer to be drawn to them as I am.

My paintings are done in a slow, layering process. My subjects are painted from life, when possible, but more often from original photographs of subjects I have encountered personally and to which I was drawn. I enjoy doing commissioned paintings and welcome your requests. Many of my paintings are available in giclee prints and can be made any size up to that of the original.

I have taught art for over twenty-five years, but it has been in the past twelve years that I have intensified my involvement in my own painting, as a result of extended workshops in the mountains of North Carolina and vineyards of Tuscany. I have been exhibiting my paintings regularly since 2001, and many have been shown in over forty-five exhibits throughout South Florida. My painting 'San Gimignano', was exhibited at the Broome Street Gallery in New York City, and won the People's Choice Blue Ribbon Award at La Dolce Vita exhibit. My original watercolors, acrylics and giclee prints hang in private homes all over the United States and in Japan.
