After a brief Members Meeting catching us up on the Fall’s Events, Exhibition, etc., we will have the pleasure of a demonstration by popular Cazenovia NY artist and instructor Judith Hayes Levins,

Artist Statement:

Judy knew from the beginning that art was her passion and her place in the world. “I see beauty in our world and try to convey that with brush, paint and paper. My medium is watercolor and I express with it in an energetic, bold manner. Art is a form of communication and by painting my world and having others feel something when viewing it, we have shared a moment together and that is a wonderful thing.”

Artist Bio:

Judith’s art education began at home with her mother’s love of art instilled and nurtured in her children. Judy continued her passion at Boston’s New England School of Art & Design, where she majored in Fashion Illustration. After graduation she taught figure drawing and textile rendering with The School of Fashion Design while she pursued her freelance art career.

Life has taken her up and down the East coast, currently putting down roots in Cazenovia NY, a charming lake community tucked into the pastoral landscape of Central New York. She is a member of CazArts and has volunteered as President of the Cazenovia Watercolor Society (CWS) for three years, as Secretary for two and serves as social media/website Chairperson. She keeps her brushes busy by joining the Adirondack Plein Air group, Mountain Air Painters, on weekly painting adventures as well as participating in numerous plein air groups.

Judith teaches her love of watercolor in her private studio at the historic Atwell Mill in Cazenovia NY. She holds workshops with CazArts, and travels to watercolor societies & art groups for demonstrations/workshops. Students have described Judy’s love of the medium as “contagious”. She says she wants her teaching to plant little watercolor seeds, then sit back and watch her students bloom.

Judy is an award winning artist that has gained Signature Gold status with the Central New York Watercolor Society (CNYWS), as well as filling a chair on their 2017 -24 Board of Directors. She sells her work from her Gallery/Studio and exhibits with the numerous groups she participates in throughout Central New York.

You can follow her painting adventures on social media Facebook and instagram.
