Judith Peck is an American artist (born 1957 in Brooklyn, New York) currently residing in the Greater Washington, D.C. area who is predominantly known for her allegorical figurative oil paintings.
Judith Peck was described by Professional Artist magazine as an "allegorical figurative artist who has made her life’s work to paint about history and healing, using a variety of methods and experimental techniques to achieve a diverse range of visual and tactile results that validate a strong narrative.
"[2] In highlighting her work in a 1997 five person show at the Platt Gallery in Los Angeles, the Los Angeles Times art critic noted that Peck's works in the show were "the most emotionally charged art here, portraying 'persecuted Jews from the diaspora.'
"[7] In 2019, for her most recent show at The Gallery at the Pennsylvania College of Technology,[3] she stated that "I’m not painting the other, I’m painting everyone and we all live in the world together and we are responsible for everyone, each other..."[3] In 2021 she was one of the artists invited to The Phillips Collection's juried invitational, Inside Outside, Upside Down exhibition, a show that was described by The Washington City Paper art critic as forcing "us to remember a time that left us 'confused, battered, and disoriented' through the eyes of 64 D.C.-area artists.
