JUDY PERRY'S ART THAT HEALS
Some time ago Judy Perry, who had already made a name for herself painting in pastel and watercolor, came close to being killed in a crash with a drunk driver, she was fortunate to survive. Loss of memory from the brain injury robbed her of her ability to paint. It’s been a long, slow process teaching myself how to paint again, one that continues to this day. But along with regaining her skills she learned deep lessons about overcoming pain and finding eternal peace, lessons that translated into a new aspect of her work, an aspect that has already helped many on their journey through life. “I am interested,” Judy Perry says, “in interpreting the abundant colors and healing properties I experience in nature along the New England coastline.”
In April I first became aware of Judy Perry’s work through Sara Drought Nebel at Lyme Art Association. The first of Judy’s paintings I saw were seascapes of waves. These waves contained a green that was different from any green I had ever seen in a painting before. They were both realistic and otherworldly at the same time. I was drawn into these waves and the longer I looked into them, and I was drawn back many times, the better I felt. The green waves touched me in a remarkable way that brought a deep peace to my soul. Go to our lead story and see for yourself. “She is water, powerful enough to drown you, soft enough to cleanse you, deep enough to save you.”
