Susan Vida Judah (b.1938)

As a textile artist, Susan Vida Judah makes an ancient art form new again. The exquisite visual poetry of her work embodies decades of sustained mastery and a profound technical command of her medium. She explores and expands the expressive power of weaving and tapestry, incorporating elements of sculpture, installation and decorative art.

She was faculty in the weaving department of the New Brunswick College of Craft and Design. She is a member of the Royal Canadian Academy and Deichmann Award for Excellence in Craft winner, has achieved distinction in Canada and internationally teaching about and creating textile art. The excellence of her hand-woven fabrics and extensive exhibition history have resulted in numerous corporate and public commissions.
