Judith Belzer

Judith Belzer is an American painter based in Berkeley, California. She is known for semi-abstract oils and watercolors depicting invented landscapes in which the natural and built worlds collide and adjoin. These hybrid scenes have been described as dynamic, distanced but expressive, and non-prescriptive—more provocative than overtly critical observations of environmental change. In an Artillery review Barbara Morris wrote, "Belzer explores the edge where the natural world interfaces with the industrialized landscape, emphasizing how rhythms and patterns found in nature are echoed in the structures that man has created … [and] conveying our anxious energy as we struggle for equilibrium in a world permanently altered by our actions."
