JUDY SOMERVILLE: PAINTINGS (Diversity in Subject)
Americana   Cityscapes   Elderly People

I think of myself as a painter-scientist. As a painter, I interact with my subject personally and aesthetically, and as a scientist I try to discover what realities lie beneath what we see in the "real" world and how we perceive it. The scientist in me sees the world through a microscope. The artist sees the world through large, invisible "aesthetic glasses".

As an artist, I create paintings which express the mysteries and beauty of color, chaos, diversity, order and harmony. As a scientist, my paintings illustrate the mysteries of fractal delineations in nature which form the very basis for nature's aesthetic. As an artist, I try to uncover the absurdity of "objective notions of reality" while as a scientist, I work to make my paintings accurate as they reproduce intricate and minute details of the world I really see.
