ENTWINED III, C. M. Judge, 48″ x 60″, Acrylic on Canvas, 2022

Shirley, MA – September 25, 2023 – Gallery Sitka’s latest exhibition, ENTWINED by C. M. Judge opens with a reception on Friday, October 13, 4:30-6:30pm at Gallery Sitka, 2 Shaker Road in Shirley. The reception is free and open to the public; ENTWINED runs through November 3.

Intermedia artist, C. M. Judge directs Moongate Studio in Fitchburg, MA where she creates drawings, paintings, and video installations. Focusing on the poetic confluences of body and spirit, Judge’s work has been exhibited worldwide.

Ms. Judge offers, “In the ENTWINED series, I had a clear mission — to paint my joyful response to being lifted out of the Covid crisis and to finally reconnect with people and places in person. Bright colors arranged in flowing interlocking patterns celebrate these reunions and the blessings of being together.”

Sharing the creative process is one of Ms. Judge’s joys. As a teaching artist, she works throughout New England specializing in facilitating collaborative public art projects involving groups of children, teens, adults, and elders. Locally, she mentored girls through the Montachusett Opportunity Council to create the public art mural Speak Up! Speak Out! on Main Street in Fitchburg. In our nation’s capital, C. M. was the lead artist for the permanent public art project, HELLO & WELCOME, featuring artwork by 240 students from ten area schools for Dulles International Airport serving Metropolitan Washington, D.C. Ms. Judge’s residency work can be viewed on CreativeGround.

Ms. Judge holds a Master of Science in Visual Studies from M.I.T. Judge is a 2019 recipient of the Médaille D’Etain from the Socièté Académique Arts-Sciences-Lettres in Paris for excellence in art and positive contribution to society and the inaugural recipient of the Present Tense Prize recognizing artwork that exemplifies new practices, artistic risk-taking, and excellence in execution from ArtsWorcester.

Gallery Sitka owner, Tamar Russell Brown notes,”C.M. Judge is an internationally renowned mix-media and multimedia artist. We are thrilled to be part of her circle! We also appreciate all the advisory work she has done with Gallery Sitka. C.M. is incredible to work with — her work is deep, inspiring, and meaningful, touching on topics of the spiritual, and the meditative, cut by the light that emanates from her studio in Central Massachusetts.”
