Reviews:

As a world-class, award-winning photographer Judy remains very humble. Her passion for photography and teaching is undeniable as she generously shares her knowledge mentoring other photographers no matter what their skill level. I am very grateful to have the opportunity to learn from such an esteemed artist.” - Jane Sheers, Duncan BC

I love images that cause me to pause for a moment to appreciate the subject matter, the scene or the masterful processing. Judy’s fine art photography is that kind of art. Judy has a natural gift of seeing things in a new way as well as an abundance of skills in her post-processing techniques. And, as a gifted teacher, Judy openly shares everything she can to help others grow in their photography and artistic endeavors. Whether I am looking at her older work or some of her new images, I see the passion, sensitivity and the wonder she hopes the viewer sees. - Heidi Egerman, Boise, Idaho

Titia Jetten - Bio

"Conceptual artist and designer, mender, maker, gardener, wordsmith–that’s how I’d like to describe myself. I’m not bound to one single medium; it can be ink, it can be soup or fabric, it can be digital. 

I am obsessed with anything overlooked, dismissed, put aside, discarded or forgotten, details, small print, or untold stories. I observe, analyze, dissect, and then rearrange, rebuild, and reconnect, adding or leaving details, changing the narrative, creating new associations and connections, and a new reality emerges. 

Being a person of contrasts, I like to put things in a broader perspective or context, find the framework, trying to understand underlying concepts. Often this is an Aha insight, an encouragement to explore a different path or to adapt a process. 

In my past life I got a MFA in Design, Illustration, Typography, and Photography at the Royal Academy of Art in the Netherlands, studied journalism, public relations management, and marketing; I was a creative director and entrepreneur for many years. My company worked for corporate,  government, NFP, and NGO clients. 

I acknowledge the traditional territory of the Snuneymuxw First Nations, where I live with my family and work in my studio under the trees, close to the ocean."
