Judith Brinck - Folkart :: by My Hand & Pen



For the past ten years, Judy has been creating distinctive decorative motifs for fine art, walls, floors, and furniture. Drawing inspiration from early American, German, and Scandinavian styles, her work includes marbleizing, hand-graining, gilding, milk paint, hand-cut stenciling, vinegar painting, tromp-loeil, and free- hand style .

Fraktur, from the German word, “broken”, a writing style practiced primarily by schoolmasters and ministers in Pennsylvania - German communities of the 18th-19th centuries is an important focus for Judy's painting.

She continues to be chosen nationally for The Directory of Traditional American Craftsmen, which honors only those who show mastery of the original craft as well as using original implements and tools to achieve it.

Available online and through museum shops, her work is also available on commission for anniversaries, births, and marriages. (Examples on request).

Often infusing a whimsical style into her work, she enjoys re-interpretting original works, as well as creating new renderings of 18th-19th century design.
