My friend and colleague Judith Tucker, who has died aged 63 in a traffic accident, was an artist and art scholar whose work entangled social history, personal memory and place. Her oil paintings and drawings were widely exhibited, including at the Arthouse1, Collyer Bristow and HackelBury galleries in London and at many regional galleries across the UK. She also exhibited in Romania, Poland, the Czech Republic, Austria, the US and China.
In 2020 Judith won a Jackson’s painting prize, having been a finalist on two previous occasions, and she was shortlisted for a number of other awards, including the Westmorland Landscape prize in 2019 and the New Light prize in 2020.
