Judy
Tamagno

Tamagno works in pen and ink and scratchboard with limited edition prints made of scenes featuring farms, barns and horses. She also works in watercolor and acrylic, painting farm scenes, still lifes, fruits and flowers, cats and horses. She also enjoys making handmade and hand-painted porcelain thimbles, beads, buttons and chess sets. Her pen-and-ink renditions of “Historic Muncy” have helped to promote the charming colonial architecture of the town, as well as her limited edition prints of local farms and barns.

“I have been painting for many years and do very detailed realistic work featuring many small points of interest, sometimes hiding anomalies in the work. My pen-and-ink of Appaloosa horses was published in the ‘Appaloosa Journal’ magazine, and a scratchboard of cats was published in ‘Cats’ magazine,” she said.

Her work in porcelain, handmade and hand-painted beads and buttons has been published several times in “Bead and Button” magazine.

“I like to use pen and ink when I do scenes of the many lovely old barns and farms in this part of Pennsylvania,” she said. “Pen and ink enables me to render the textures of old barn boards and intricate little details. I love to paint flowers in watercolor as the delicate washes portray the structure and patterns. I love bugs almost as much as I love flowers.”
