Judith Brinck - Folkart :: by My Hand & Pen

From an old home, to a forgotten chair in the attic, a family trunk with initials erased, a desk from your Grandmother; virtually anything with “good bones” – these are samplings of the almost limitless possibilities, where time and love make heirlooms new again, and introduce new ones to future generations. Bringing the past to the present is Judy's passion!

Using time honored traditions: marbleizing, hand-graining, gilding, milk paint, hand-cut stenciling, vinegar painting, tromp-loeil, and free- hand style ... Judy introduces time now ... to time past.

Judy's decorative business is active. She does walls, ceilings and floors including; strie to multiple glazes, modello to linen, old plaster to venetian: woods, stones, marbles. Although her emphasis is period design, she has done everything from art deco to Pompeian walls.

Her marine murals are in wide demand, as are her faux period 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 has become a focus of Judy's painting. This year she was selected as one of only 200 period artists in the country to be listed in The Early American Life Directory.

Judy paints for decorators, private commissions, for selective shops, including Nantucket Massachusetts, is part of The 2008 Newport Showhouse Guild Showhouse, and has works available online. Often infusing a whimsical style to her work, Judy interprets original works, as well as creating new renderings of 18th-19th century design.
