Judy Jashinsky is an American contemporary artist most known for her paintings dealing with historical events, narratives, and personalities. The paintings are often intertwined with personal details and experiences, depicted in historical and fantasy environments, and across different eras and cultures.
Perhaps her most recognized body of work is her Artemisia Gentileschi series of paintings and installations chronicling the life and experiences of the world's first famous woman painter. The Artemisia works have been the subject of articles in the Washington Post and Art in America, and multiple exhibitions.
Judy's work has been shown in numerous solo and group exhibitions, including the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History, The Corcoran Gallery of Art, The National Museum of Women in the Arts, and The Drawing Center, NY. She is represented in many collections, including the National Gallery of Art, The Art Institute of Chicago, Cranbrook Academy of Art, the Detroit Art Institute, the University of Palermo, The World Bank, Washington, DC Convention Center, and more.
In 2017, Judy had a personal studio project completed in the woods of Arcadia in Northern Michigan. Her dream and that of her husband was for her to have a studio to create work in isolation; they discovered the property together while vacationing before he died. Pines of Arcadia is a spacious studio and exhibition space built into a sand dune and surrounded by pines. Pines of Arcadia is a non-profit project, and the studio and surrounding property is open for artist residency - an opportunity that will continue to serve artists in the Midwest for years to come.
Judy has completed multiple works at Pines of Arcadia, including Nurses and Doctors - a series of 100 portraits created during the Covid-19 virus pandemic.
