Alligator Motion 20” x 10” x 3” Clay vessel Judith Greavu 32 Coral reefs with eels, rays and sharks, tide Pools filled with anemones and kelps and Ohio pond fish and mussels feed the art. Flora, fauna and ecological relationships inform much of my sculpture work in bronze, copper, ceramic and glass. A childhood spent in rural coastal Florida, adult life in intimate contact with nature in a rural Ohio area with a pond and traveling to coastal areas for immersion in marine environments has fed my art for many years. The work that develops from these experiences may be representational or abstract but is always filled with lively movement, sensuous forms and textural contrasts. A retired professor at Ohio Northern University, Judith Greavu holds an M.F.A. degree in painting from Bowling Green State University and a B.S. degree in art education from Ball State University and has an extensive exhibition record. Presenting from Michigan to Florida and throughout Ohio, she recently completed a major retrospective exhibit at ArtSpace/Lima. Image Courtesy of the A.I.R.I.E. Collection.
