Artist Profile: Judy MacIntosh
Judy was born and raised in Nova Scotia. She has always had an interest in art in many forms from sketching to doing poster work for different committees in school and church. When her two sons reached their teen years, she started with a drawing course and then moved into oil painting. She works in watercolor, pastels, pen and ink and acrylics, but her favourite medium is still oils.
Her work is mainly of small children, florals, seascapes and many local scenes. She works mainly from her many photos, on site or from her sketches. Her camera and sketch book are never far from her.
Her work has been shown at Manuge Gallery, West End Gallery, Fraser Cultural Center, Colchester County Library, Senior Gallery at World Trade & Convention Center, Arts Sales and Rental, Artport Gallery at the Hailifax Airport, Craig Gallery and many others. Her paintings have been sold to many visitors from around the world like France, England, New Zealand, Iceland, Germany and of course the USA. Her work is in most provinces across Canada. She is a regular supporter of the Festival of Trees, the Kermesse and for Alice Housing Fundraisers. Judy was one of the founders of the West End Gallery. She is an active member of the Bedford Basin Artists Society and recently joined Dartmouth Visual Arts.
