judith sol dyess
Judith is a Catalan artist born in Lleida (1975), who studied and practiced art in Chicago for 30 years, and in 2019 moved back to Catalonia. Much of her work, primarily mixed media and collage, is a result of her continuous quest to visually assemble both historical and current events in or about Catalonia. The results are highly personal expressions of a broader collective experience.
