Tom Judd

Tom Judd first exhibited his art work at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, where at 25 he was included in a survey show entitled "Contemporary Drawing: Philadelphia" curated by Ann Percy and Frank Goodyear. The museum purchased a work from that exhibit for their permanent collection.

Judd went on to exhibit his work in distinguished commercial galleries beginning with his first solo exhibit at Eric Makler Gallery in Philadelphia. Judd was soon recognized in New York City, including Monique Knowlton and Coe Kerr Gallery. He was given a solo exhibit at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts and had work purchased for their permanent collection. In the 90's Judd had a ten-year retrospect at the Philadelphia Art Alliance. The show also traveled to the Salt Lake Art Center the following year. In 2009, Judd joined forces with curator and gallery owner Allen Sheppard to produce "Evidence of a Collected Past". This exhibition was staged at the Globe Dye Works - an alternative art space in Philadelphia - and consisted of a 20 year retrospective of Judd's works.

Judd has also participated in many public art projects including a billboard next to an interstate 76 in Philadelphia ; and a seventy foot chalk drawing in Salt Lake City in 1997. He was commissioned to do an exterior mural for the city of Philadelphia's Fringe Festival through the mural arts program and has completed several murals , most notably in Philadelphia.

In recent years, he has branched out into installation projects including "The Hermit Project" at Stremmel Gallery in Reno, NV in 2005. That same year, he traveled to Tijuana, where he collaborated with Mexican poet Omar Pimienta to produce "Tijuana Weekend" at Scott White Contemporary in San Diego. The show consisted of a Mexican shack made of found materials imitating the housing found south of the border as well as a series of portraits of Mexican women.

Judd lives in Philadelphia with his wife, artist, and art blogger, Kiki Gaffney, 21 year old son William and their 3 year old daughter Astrid Sofia. He has shown extensively for the last 30 years in prominent galleries and museums and is included in major private and public collections. He continues to establish himself as an original voice in the contemporary art world.

Tom Judd attended the University of Utah; traveled through Europe; Europe; and received his degree from the Philadelphia College of Art where he studied with Rafael Ferrer, Bob Kulicke, and Larry Day.
