Captivated by Dora Creek which flows close by her home and studio, Judy has been documenting her local environment for over 20 years. A keen bird watcher, bush walker and photographer she has explored the creek and its surrounding bushland as well as the greater Lake Macquarie area. 

These works express her fascination with linear motifs in nature along with the colours and moods created by seasonal changes. She is interested in the ever changing patterns created by the movement of water, reflections in the water from overhanging scrub and trees that line the banks, and detritus revealed in the shallows; and in the abstract quality of grasses and branches, leaf and bark litter and tangled undergrowth.

She discharges, draws, paints, mono prints, screen prints, and collages her one-of-a-kind fabrics, and extensively stitches her work to create an overall textured surface. She works with fabric inks and paints and water soluble crayons. Judy is always interested in exploring new ideas and techniques to further develop her creative practice.
