JUDY TUMMINO
In my work I try to capture the essence of the moment which will never be the same again. I observe the light and shadow in the landscape. I search for planes which will lead the eye through the picture plane. I often work with landscape as my subject matter, a love which began early in childhood as I was traveling to Chesapeake Bay or to my mother's childhood home in the Shenandoah Valley. Also, growing up in the Washington, D.C. area, I developed an early love for the beautiful paintings in the galleries and museums.


I have been influenced by my studies at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago as well as the International School of Drawing, Painting and Sculpture in Montecastello, Italy where I studied for about 9 summers.
My recent work is often based upon the terrain of the Sleeping Bear Dunes in Michigan, which I have frequented during the last four summers. Favorite spots are in Glen Haven, where I frequently paint my "Path to the Dunes" paintings. I also like to paint at Glen Lake Park, looking across to see the interaction of the trees with the dunes. Coastal settings are also a favorite subject, such as Christmas Cove.
My work can be found in the permanent collections of the Kalamazoo Institute of Arts, the Dennos Museum Center and Grand Valley State University.
