Figurative Abstraction

Written By Judy Doherty

Through fractured forms and disrupted compositions, I aim to capture the essence of moments when the familiar begins to slip away, leaving behind a tapestry reshaped by time and experience. In each piece, I invite viewers to witness the beauty in the breakdown—the places where life's seams begin to loosen, revealing the complex interplay of emotions and narratives beneath the surface. The title encapsulates not only the physical act of unraveling but also the metaphorical sense of unraveling identities, relationships, and societal norms.

My experience as a chef, stylist, and photographer has earned many awards, including APA Top 100, ACF Gold Medal, and a juried fine art photo exhibit at Art Basel Miami.
