Beauty, love, and motion portrayed through colors, values and design are favorite themes in the paintings of Judith Srite Campbell. After a lengthy career departure, Judith recently rekindled her love with art. From studying in Paris and Switzerland as a young girl to being one of the artist-owners of The Highland Park Art Gallery, founding the Artists’ Showplace Gallery and becoming a partner in the new Frisco Fine Art Gallery, art has always been in her blood.

Summer Delight Art Exhibit
Jean McIntosh’s work captures the intersection between the physical and spiritual. She focuses mostly on reflections and refractions of light in water. By the combination of color, texture and surface pattern, she expresses her inner spirit. The art of being present in the moment determines her every step. Beauty, motion, collections and autobiographical experiences are popular themes. Jean received her M.F. A. from Texas Woman’s University. She is in the permanent collections of Mountain View Community College, Brookhaven Community College and the New Orleans Museum of Art, New Orleans, Louisiana.
