Judy Drew, 1951 | Still life

Renowned Australian artist Judy Drew was born in 1951, graduating from Melbourne's Prahran College of Art in 1970.

From the time she purchased her first set of Schminke pastels there was an immediate connection with the medium.

"When I started to use pastels, I began to study the pastel artists of the Post Impressionist period - in particular Degas. Degas' portraiture with its delicate line work, tendency towards understatement and often spare use of colour appealed to me".
