About Me
Judith Becker Greenwald
artist
My interest in painting is linked with my experience as a psychotherapist because each involves relationships, the process of discovery and hopefulness. As an artist, I have an intimate emotional and visual connection with each painting.
Inspiration
Inspiration comes from the incredible beauty of our world and the glory of its ever changing panorama of patterns and colors. As I savor the sky, ocean and lushness of the Earth, I feel uplifted and am inspired to communicate the sense of awe that their beauty and essential vitality evoke within me.
Techniques
In beginning, I work spontaneously without planning ahead very much. I choose the background color that appeals to me at the time for the first coat of paint and then perhaps a different color for the second coat. There may be a third coat. Now itʼs time for some paint strokes or pattern. Staying in the present moment and being open to what reveals itself to me, I continue to work as I watch the painting evolve. I have learned to trust the process without knowing precisely where it will lead. I feel the tension of earnestness and playfulness within me while I work.
Career Highlights
Judith Becker Greenwald is developing her place in the art world with the same sensitivity and drive she exhibited in her first career. As psychoanalyst and analytic supervisor, she founded and was first Executive Editor of the esteemed journal, Psychoanalytic Perspectives. Always interested in making art, she has returned to this passion. She brings the creativity, reverence for life and intuition she has cultivated during these many years. Her playfulness and earnestness inform her sensuous and joyful paintings.
