Judith A. Brust is a nationally known artist who works in various mediums: painting and drawing, both abstract and figurative, sculpture, and most recently unusually large (4 ft x 8 ft) layered monoprints. Influenced by extensive readings in the works of Carl Jung, Joseph Campbell and Gaston Bachelard, and inspired by the spiritual quality in the works of fellow painters and sculptors Mark Rothko, Paul Klee, Louise Bourgeois and Eva Hesse, Brust’s art, especially the monoprints, deserves a commitment of time and attention on the part of any serious viewer.
Brust discourages any literal interpretation of her work, encouraging viewers to bring their own histories and life experiences to bear in responding to her images.
Judith A. Brust gave private drawing lessons in her home studio while raising three children and fulfilling her responsibilities as the wife of a corporate executive. When her children were grown, she went back to school and received her MA and MFA from SUNY Albany. She has exhibited extensively in both group and solo shows in the Northeast for the past thirty years; her work is in many private and corporate collections throughout the United States. Visitors and “summer people” on Nantucket Island since the 70’s, Judith and her recently retired husband, Robert Brust, have relocated to the island permanently. Her studio is also on Nantucket.
