Judith
Allison is an oil painter of Floral, Landscapes and
Seascapes. She
was
born
and raised in Marquez, a small town outside of
Bryan, Texas. Since childhood,
she
has had
an interest in art, so Judith took her first art
class at age 25 and has since continued
a life long
pursuit to develop the craft she loves. Prior to
her art career, she worked
as a corporate flight
attendant for Eastern Airlines, and then began to
paint
professionally
in 1972.
Her first
“solo” show took place in 1978 at the Meridian Museum of Art in
Mississippi,
where
to her surprise she completely sold out. With a spark
of success and inspiration,
she
continued
painting with a diligent and steady work ethic,
which led to one of her
paintings
being
purchased for the Straus Art Collection in New York
City. Since then she
has been a
nationally recognized artist.
When asked about her main influences, Judith happily
responds “I appreciate all types of
art, but I really prefer realism. Traveling the world as a
flight attendant provided me with the
good fortune to view many of the old masters works,
and that is where my interest
lies. I also like their use of dark and vivid colors, and how
contrast can help bring a
painting to life”. Judith says her world travels have helped
her to absorb natures beauty
and express herself through painting.
She
has taught privately and studied under Georgia's
Lillian Davenport, Texas artists Jane McAdams and Jimmy
Middlebrook, and studied Fine Art at the University of
Houston. Her paintings have been displayed and sold at
many venues including Westbury Square,
the Kingwood Art Show, Southwest Art, the
Highland Village, Westheimer Arts Festival, the
Old Market Square Association, American
Art Coordinators of Houston, as well as Margaret
Crouthers Art Gallery and Alabama’s Pine Tree
Gallery.
Though
her works have been sought by many
public and private collections in the United
States as well as Europe, Judith continues to paint for the
love of her craft, all while enjoying the beauty of
life with family and friends.
