Serigraph 1/20 'Young Girl' by Judy Bird. Judy Bird was born in San Jose, California. Bird graduated with her BA in liberal arts with a concentration in studio arts, in 1998. Her desire to enhance her skill set, and further develop concept inspired her to apply to graduate student at the Academy of art University in San Francisco, she was accepted as a non-figurative painting major in 2005.Bird is an acquired brain injury survivor who struggles to manage her various amnesias. A critical illness in 2009 nearly took her life, and she has had to “re” learn much of what she learned. So it is not surprising to find some 13,000 words that start with “re” handwritten” in her work. She has to record each step she makes in the studio on wall boards in order to print an edition of prints. The struggles, are suggested when the work is formally recorded, each step of the way in editions, in contrast to the freedom of the impulsive, intuitive and spontaneous approach she enjoys in her hybrid one of a kind forms.
