MOORED Painting by Jude Lobe

The idea of us not just being a part of nature, but connected in some way through a primal web of energy intrigues me and feels calming. It makes such sense to me. How else can one explain how we feel the same awe when watching a sunset, or feel anguish when we see someone in pain, or get teary-eyed at a wedding.

It’s these recognizable but intangible feelings and emotions that I want to convey in my artworks. Sometimes they will take the shape of a familiar scene, other times they may be exhibited as an abstract. I consider myself a contemporary mixed media artist, working in cold wax, oil, encaustic, enamel, pottery and pottery with encaustic. My process is a method of building and deconstructing. I like mixing mediums and I love textures, which becomes a metaphor for how all things in the universe are interwoven and intertwined.

I have been involved with art in one way or another throughout my life. Presently, I work in my studio built by my husband. The studio has easels, enameling kiln, pottery kiln, pottery wheel, an assortment of paints and mediums, and many other items that encourage me to create.
