EXHIBITION: Judith Cain – 30 Years On
3rd May 2025 - 8th Jun 2025 11:00 am - 4:00 pm
This exhibition of paintings by Judith Cain showcases the range of her work as it has developed over the years.
Judith was born in Yorkshire and studied painting at Leeds College of Art from 1960-64, followed by a further year at Goldsmiths’ College of Art. From the 1980s until recently, Judith taught in the Fine Art Department at Leeds Metropolitan University whilst hosting exhibitions far and wide, including in the USA.
In 2004, she was invited by the Royal Botanical Gardens at Kew, London, to display paintings exploring the flora and landscapes of Kazakhstan. In 2008, Judith was commissioned to design floor pieces and paintings for a new reception area at St James Hospital in Leeds, which was significant as this helped towards the wellbeing efforts and rehabilitation in that wing. She also has an impressive collection of awards, including the Laing (Regional and National), Harewood Award, AHRB Award, and Arts Council Award.
