Bio
Judith Mccabe Jarvis has always had passion for the visual arts. She
studied Art at The Tyler school of art and spent a year in Rome studying
Art History and painting extensively and graduated in 1981. During the
80s she exhibited in the Philadelphia area at many reputable Art
Galleries including Gross McCleaf, Woodmere Art Museum and the Hahn
Galleries. She spent a lot of time painting and drawing commissioned
portraits in a unique personalized style to reflect the subject's
individual personality.
Her iconoclastic style incorporated wit and whimsy. Judith McCabe Jarvis has had many influences in her art, she loves the subtle and humorous New Yorker magazine covers, the powerful narrative Religious themes of the Renaissance painters and the modern American painters such as Wyeth, Hopper and Fairfield Porter. She is in awe the controlled abandon of Andrew Wyeth's watercolors. . Since her move to Chadds Ford with her two daughters and husband, she has had the opportunity to paint the local landscape adding a unique interpretation of the much painted Brandywine Valley.
