Judith Glover
Judith Glover is an artist and illustrator based in Sudbury, Suffolk. She studied at Dartington College of Arts and then at Hornsey College of Art in north London, graduating with a degree in graphic design. She began her career with a London design company working in publishing, with illustration - much of it inspired by nature - as her main focus, and her designs have since been licensed internationally across stationery, fabric and ceramics. A keen gardener, she completed a planting design course at Capel Manor College and won a Silver medal and the BBC People's Award for her garden at the 2003 Chelsea Flower Show. She moved to Suffolk in 2013, where she now works in soft pastel, watercolour and oils, practises life drawing and portraiture, and makes hand-built porcelain ceramics. She opens her studio each June with Suffolk Open Studios and exhibits annually with Heart of Suffolk and Artworks East. Her work has been selected for the Pastel Society and the Watercolour Society in London, and in 2026 she was one of eight contemporary artists invited to create work inspired by the legacy of Benton End, the former home of Cedric Morris and Arthur Lett Haines.
Artist Statement
I am a practicing artist/illustrator/maker living in Sudbury opening my studio with SOS in June each year and exhibiting annually with Heart of Suffolk and Artworks East. My paintings have been selected for the Pastel Society and the Watercolour Society in London and in April this year I was one of eight contemporary artists invited to create work inspired by the rich artistic legacy of Benton End, the former home of Cedric Morris and Arthur Lett Haines.
I work in various mediums including soft pastels, watercolour and oils and make hand-built ceramics with porcelain. I am continually searching to express my inner voice in my art.
The painter Walter Sickert once said 'never believe what an artist says, only what they do' and I like to think my work speaks to those who see it without needing me to explain it.
