Jude Broughan’s Artist Portfolio

Jude Broughan approaches collage with the mind of a printmaker, attentive to color and material. “I combine original photography with painting, printmaking, and natural and synthetic fabrics. These diverse elements are sliced, stitched, and stuck together in formal compositions, which are both abstracted and allegorical.”
