Judy B. Cooley loves to paint, especially children.
She wants her art to tell a story and to stir emotions inside that remind each of us of the joy and innocence of our children and what is good in this world. Cooley is a successful watercolorist with a solid track record of production and sales.
I believe children symbolize all that is good in the world, and in us.
I want my art to be a reminder of our greatest hope for a bright
future, our children.
I prefer to let the painting evolve through risk, through effort, through play, through frustration, through sensation, through recollections and a reconciling of opposites.
I prefer my painting to be a record of the internal instead of the external, not to imitate a fixed surface reality, but render a spirit and movement.
I prefer to always seek creative knowledge that is transformative and universal through the process of art making
