Ink  

Acrylic ink and alcohol ink on card stock paper

This art is a form of breath control meditation. I use my lungs, mouth and breath to blow inks of various viscosities to create images. Steady air stream makes long lines. Sharp blasts create ink explosions. The result is precise. Jud was diagnosed with Parkinson's in 2012. He began breath painting shortly after his diagnosis. He feels compelled to create as an artist, and also finds the creative process alleviates many of his symptoms. People see insects, birds, trees and more in this art. These impressions are similar to seeing images in cloud formations. Compositions are inspired by Arabic, Chinese and Hebrew calligraphy, petroglyphs and whimsy.
