A Great Joy 2021

mixed media on paper, 74 x 59 cm

29” x 23”
Watercolor and mixed media on rice paper

A Great Joy reminds me to be my bold, goofy, crazy self. I am all of the lines, spikes and soft curves you see. I am the coil of reflection, the prong of self-expression. I am also the dancing thread that interweaves the shifting parts of a life. This painting is about being authentic, showing all aspects that may comprise one complex, living being. Be bold. Be bright. Be you. And let everyone else take care of themselves.

About Judy Aveiro

I am delighted by life’s mysteries, magic and its perfect imperfections.
My favorite way to explore these delights is by working with wax on handmade rice paper. So much of the final outcome is left to chance even after all my careful deliberation and expertise. The temperature of the wax, the humidity that day, where the pigments in my colors decide to settle more deeply into the paper as they dry, how the paper absorbs the water and wax, all of these variables and more are out of my control. This leaves me, like the viewer, surprised and mystified by the images that emerge after the wax is melted from the paper.
