Judy Schubert captures the beauty she sees in the faces and places around her. Her works express vitality, with notes of color and attention to the play of light and shadow. She has created family treasures while delighting many with commissioned paintings. Discovering the relationship of elements in an overall pattern fascinates her and she looks at any given painting as a puzzle ready to be solved. Her paintings have found homes throughout the country and in Europe.
After a real estate and sales career, she began sketching family members. She graduated to oils and continues portraiture, along with figurative, landscape, seascape and still life paintings. Judy Schubert is originally from Virginia where she raised a family, then lived in New York City for several years. Drawn to the New England seacoast, she and her husband moved to Portsmouth, New Hampshire.
Judy thanks three artists with whom she studied, for opening her eyes to the world of oil painting, including technique and helping her to see as an artist: Marvin Mattelson at the School of Visual Arts in New York, Pamela duLong Williams in Maine and Todd Bonita in New Hampshire and Maine. Constantly driven by the thirst to learn, she often attends workshops and studies with prominent painters.
Judy paints in her Portsmouth studio, where she is open by appointment.
Previously, she welcomed many art patrons and visitors to her studio/gallery, Studio 51 Ceres.
