Judith Bridgland: Bold and Expressive Scottish Landscapes

Scottish artist Judith Bridgland is celebrated for her vibrant, bold landscapes that capture the drama and beauty of nature. Known for her expressive use of colour and dynamic mark-making, Judith’s paintings are an exuberant celebration of the Scottish landscape, from the Campsie Fells to the islands of Skye and Harris.

Her creative journey took a new direction in 2020 when she focused on her immediate surroundings, finding inspiration in her garden and local walks. This shift brought a deeper sense of meaning and connection to her work, making it more poignant and personal.

Working from hundreds of location photographs, Judith uses tactile oils to build layers of texture and colour, giving each painting a sense of energy and vitality. Her work balances realism with emotional expression, creating captivating scenes that resonate with collectors worldwide.

Judith has exhibited extensively across Scotland, Europe, Russia, and the USA, earning accolades like the MacRoberts Open Prize and the Glasgow Art Club Award. Her works are featured in prestigious collections, including the Royal Bank of Scotland and Glasgow Caledonian University.
