Judith Brandon explores the meeting point of intuition, weather, and the wisdom of the natural world through drawing and painting that softens the line between seen and unseen. Her accolades include the International Spiritual Art Award and two grants from the Ohio Arts Council, along with national recognition such as honors at the International Weather Biennale. Her work has appeared in multiple museum exhibitions and is collected across the country in corporate and private collections. She holds two invention patents and, with Mulligan, co-created the children’s book featured at this reception. Her conservation commitment led to the largest solo exhibition ever staged at the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo, focused on rhinoceros conservation and the responsibility to protect endangered species. Early experiences with spring floods and oncoming storms shaped her artistic language, which now reflects contemporary life through the pulse of weather and the alertness of wild animals, grounded in a belief in personal sovereignty and our enduring bond with the living world. Brandon notes that both artists work in layers, with Mulligan progressing from drawing into paint and Brandon often moving from paint into drawing.
