Mike Judy has worked as a professional musician most of his life while separately enjoying a career as a studio artist. Separately he only thought. Mike noticed that some viewers of his art would ask him if he was a musician, saying that they could see a musical quality in his work. It was then he discovered that the role of these two forces had combined.

He now enjoys a great sense of freedom by allowing the two artistic activities to compliment each other. In fact, if you listen with your eyes, you can almost hear the rhythms and notes.

With Mike`s bold sense of color, he creates extraordinary textures that put a sense of depth in his pastels and flat areas that are simple and clean. There is an honesty of emotions that shows through to the viewer. You can feel the sense of humor within Mike`s subject matter. As an Ohio native, Mike studied studio arts and printmaking at Ohio State University - Columbus, Ohio. His achievements include many Awards from a variety of important art festivals and national competitions.

He has several growing private collections as well as corporate installations. His work can also be seen in many gallerys, coffee shops and cafes. His future goal is to make people joyful with his art... and music!
