About Artist

Judith Schiff 

New York City Columbia School of the Arts MFA
1 year Paris France Fulbright Scholar 1 year living in Jerusalem -NYC teaching 2nd to 6th graders in a private school Manhattan Changed career to Culinary Arts to make a living -Passion for food as well as painting -Fast Forward 2007 started painting again and painted watercolors for the first time Studied watercolor with Annie Shaver Crandell and has been steadily painting for the last four years July 2010 Life interrupted by a fire which left her building vacated for a year. Went around the world as a result.Took many photos especially market places from Shanghai to Amsterdam. Her original wish was to paint flowers(which she loves) in her old age but now it is the painting she loves.  Although she reached a certain level of accomplishment years ago doing abstract work she now finds her classical training is emerging in realistic renderings of fruits, flowers and market places  With a very good eye taking photos there is an abundance of reference material.

The goal is to share her enthusiasm with others through color, line and form.
