About Jude Fleming

Jude Fleming is a multidisciplinary artist, drawing, painting, making collages and artist books. She shares her passion for art making with weekly classes at Westwing Studio, Warren and recently received a commendation from the NSW State Parliament as recognition for more than 30 years of community commitment to the Arts.

She describes herself as being seduced by colour, shape, pattern and touch and is saddened, realising that ultimately these items will be landfill and have little or no ongoing value.
