Trudy was born in Camden, NY. She earned a B. A. in Art at SUNY, Buffalo,
with her art certification simultaneously at the Albright Art School.
An educator in the Rochester area she earned her M. A. from Nazareth
College, affiliating there with art groups and galleries. With her move to
Florida in 1986, she continued to embrace area art groups with her same
enthusiasm and participation.
Trudy's teaching experiences and parenting richly influenced her experimental
expression in two and three dimensional mixed media. Currently her
direction leads to multi-layered media on canvas and paper focusing on
fresh interpretations drawn from her insights and travel. She says: “I
find excitement working in mixed media with emphasis on semi-abstract
interpretations. The spontaneous patterns and rich hues speak to me. Some
expressions evolve out of an intuitive energy all their own. In
non-subjective references I have used strong positive/negative spatial
relationships along with linear drawing elements. It is of primary
importance to me that my work invoke an original element for me to feel it
is successful.”
Trudy prizes a video cameo in which Joan Altabe, critic, expressed the
‘fresh jewel ( color) transparency’ in my featured painting, “Musician”.
The national art jurist Louise Cadilac, named my painting, “Sojourn”, as
the Best of Show in the International Society of Experimental Artists.
