Item Description

Untitled Red (Oil, 18" x 24"), Judith Hale

Judith Hale (1945 - 2010) was born in Mexico City and spent most of her life in California, including over 30 years along the Mendocino Coast. She produced vivid oil and acrylic paintings on canvas and paper, using color and line in ways that were both alive and reflective of the natural world. She was a graduate of the California College of the Arts, and also studied at the Santa Fe Art Institute with Helen Frankenthaler. Her work has been shown widely throughout California and the United States and is in many private collections. Judith was represented by galleries in Mendocino, San Francisco, and Santa Fe. For many years, she taught Abstract Expressionist painting at the Mendocino Arts Center.

Judith Hale said of her work: "While being completely abstract, there is in my paintings a strong affinity with natural forces, an invitation to enter a geography of imagination that is familiar but new, both peaceful and passionate, timeless but full of movementAlmost always, my intention in painting is to flood space with light, using line, color, form and reference to the familiar to arrive at something new and startling. My paintings are meditative, intuitive and exploratory. My hope is to connect people with their own love of beauty, freedom and vastness."
