I’m Judith Monroe, a mixed media artist with a strong background in traditional and alternative process photographic techniques. I have incorporated mixed media into my photography since the 1980’s; gradually bringing more collage, writing, and drawing into my finished pieces.
The resulting imagery is a lot like my personal journal pages, with dominating photos that bleed into color and texture; hidden treasures of text and sketches wait for the viewer to discover them. My artworks contain multiple layers of physical materials, representing layers of meaning; beginning with black and white photographs that stand in for the physical world, I add layers of collage, color and text that represent the spiritual world, giving our physical world meaning and substance.
