JUDE HOTCHKISS is a Sydney based painter who graduated from the College of Fine Arts in Sydney with a degree and followed up with a Masters in Fine Arts in early 2000. She grew up in a regional area of NSW where her early experiences of weather extremes and climatic drama left her with strong impressions of atmospheric turbulence. Her work is typically abstract with bold gestures and a strong energy. During lockdowns Jude’s subject’s became more focused on herself, close family and her daily life and took the form of portraits.

​”During the recent lockdowns, my work became centered around family and home life. Digital sketching was a fast, experimental and fluid way of combining drawing with texture and colour. The faces can quickly become stretched and fragmented, but still, keep a sense of feeling and presence.” – Jude
