JHC_JUDYis a Taiwan-born, New York-based multidisciplinary artist whose practice sits at a poetic crossroads of traditional craftsmanship and thoughtful technology. She began her painting journey in 2015 and expanded into sculpture in 2017, developing a tactile language grounded in emotional honesty and material sensitivity. Her sculptures—whether wood, stone, or mixed media—are emotional vessels, translating body language, memory, and fleeting moments into physical form. She holds a B.S. in Computer Science and Studio Art with Honors from Stony Brook University, along with a minor in Digital Arts.
Judy’s work has been recognized in both artistic and technological communities. She has received several awards including Audience Choice – Best in Show at the Gramercy Art Show, the Gabriel Award for Excellence in Painting, and top honors at national hackathons such as SBUHacks (Best Game Dev) and Hack@CEWIT (VR Best Dev). Her work has been featured in Suboart Magazine and :iidrr Artist Interview, and exhibited in juried shows across New York and Boston, including installations at the Art Students League of New York and the Salmagundi Club. Her interdisciplinary approach creates spaces where vulnerability, playfulness, and curiosity converge, revealing how emotion can live simultaneously in material, gesture, and digital breath.
"My art practice is rooted in how emotion lives in material—how the intangible weight of feeling can be shaped into form. I’m drawn to moments that are small and easily missed: the pause before speaking, the warmth of being seen, the softness between people when guards are let down. These quiet, often private experiences are the ones I find most human. Through sculpture, painting, and multimedia, I try to hold on to those ephemerals where emotions are felt rather than spoken, and presence says what words cannot.
Each piece becomes a kind of emotional textile: layered, delicate, and honest. Grounded in personal memory but open in meaning, my work offers a space for reflection—where the viewer may recognize something of their own in the silence between gestures and the beauty of gently held emotions."
