The act of painting is for me, as a woman, an act of freedom, and a realisation that an image generated by the female experience can be a powerful and creative expression for all humanity. My paintings are personal statements – extensions of myself. I take a truth, an intimate emotion, a question, an answer – and paint it. It is natural for me to mediate on reality rather than on the romantic, and yet my work often results in a mixture of both. - Judith Godwin, statement made for Celebration of Women in the Arts (Northern Michigan University, 1978)
In honour of this year's International Women's Day, Pippy Houldsworth Gallery is pleased to invite you for coffees and croissants on Friday 8 March from 9 am to 12 pm. It will also be an opportunity to view our current exhibition, Judith Godwin: Expressions of Life, before it closes on Saturday 9 March 2024.
No RSVP required and we look forward to seeing you next week!
