Judith Kindler is a leading contemporary Northwest Artist, exhibiting internationally through numerous galleries. She works in Mixed Media combining: Encaustics, Oils and Large Scale Photography on panel as well as produces Resin Based Sculpture and Large Scale Photography (on it's own). Kindler works thematically within a body of work. She is currently focused on two themes "A Cookie Cutter Life" (delving into the world of mass consumerism and it's implied glories and evils) and "Surface" (inspired by the inherent beauty of worn surfaces linking what is old to current life). Kindler's work can be found in numerous public and private collections as well as museums.
