About the newest work:
"Judith Brassard Brown's paintings conjure up dialogues between material evidence and reverie; past and present. The images engage eternal matters such as life's daily rituals, the complexities of communication and mortality. Although ranging widely in genre from abstract collage to landscape, still life and portraiture, each work compels us to slow down from our customary breakneck speed in favor of soaking in the passage of time.

The paintings have seductively luminescent surfaces, partially achieved by the addition of wax medium to the paint. To counterbalance the lush surface, Brown applies successive layers that at times include collage and incised lines. The collage elements are delicate snippets of paper discolored from wear with vintage fonts, adding an aged patina."

From the catalog "Out of Time" by Shana Dumont and Leonie Bradbury
