Artist Judith Braun didn’t know the process she used as a child to overcompensate for feeling left out would become her framework for how to accomplish anything, especially how to thrive as a professional artist.
In this week‘s episode, she shares how she has used freedom through discipline to create both stunning work, a successful art career in NYC and a fulfilling life.
Hear how you can apply her strategy to creating anything: artwork, your to do list or your legacy. She believes to cultivate more presence in your life and participate in the world around you more fully it’s best to choose a few constraints to work within.
Find out how an annual Tarot spread in 2003 changed the course of Judith’s life and why deciding what you want (even in the broadest sense) and setting goals can give you the clarity you need to move forward…at least the first step.
We discuss permission; why giving it to yourself is a daily requirement and how it sparked the evolution of her impressive thumbprint wall installations.
Learn what it means to be a professional artist, leave a creative legacy, to declare one’s place in the history books and to contribute to this era of humanity.
Judith is wisdom filled, inspiring and no nonsense about living a creative life with no regret. You’ll love her kind and honest approach to making your mark.
What we further explore in this conversation:
- Why competitiveness might be just what you need.
- How much courage and playfulness do you need to be an artist?
- Why artists may change what aging looks like as the 60’s generation gets older
- and more …

MORE ABOUT JUDITH BRAUN:
Judith Braun was born in 1947, in Albany, NY. She did her undergrad at Fashion Institute of Technology, in NYC, and then received her MA and MFA from the University at Albany in 1983.
Her goal was to show her art work in NYC within 5 years, and according to her plan she did that in 1988, with the popular collaborative, Group Material.
After she moved to New York City more shows followed, including the notorious Bad Girls show at the New Museum of Contemporary Art. Then in 1995 Braun took a hiatus from the artworld to handle personal and financial matters.
In 2003 she decided to try returning to her art career, with a 3 year plan this time, and she succeeded. Since 2004 her work has been widely exhibited throughout the US and abroad.
Her current solo show, My Pleasure, at Opalka Gallery, in Albany, NY, is on view through April 23, and has been reviewed in the Brooklyn Rail and Schenectady Gazette, along with several radio interviews.
In May, she will participate in 11 Women of Spirit, at Zürcher Gallery, in NYC. Braun is a recipient of artists’ grants from the Pollock Krasner Foundation and the Adolph and Esther Gottlieb Foundation among others.
