About The Artist…

Original oil, watercolor and acrylic paintings will be for sale as well ceramics. Prints of my watercolor paintings will be available and also note cards with some of my favorite floral paintings on them.

Judith Haynes Levins graduated from The New England School of Art and Design in Boston, Massachusetts in 1989. Along with working as a freelance illustrator and designer for many years, she also taught as an instructor of drawing at The New England School of Fashion Design in Boston.

Along with her husband, Peter Levins, Judith founded a cottage business called Lot 5 studio in 2008. Their studio is nestled at the base of the Short Hill Mountain range in Lovettsville Virginia. The rolling mountains and pastures provide wonderful inspiration for Judith, who has a deep love and respect for nature and the great outdoors. The natural world is reflected in all of her work.

Judith mainly works as a painter, creating with watercolor, oil and acrylic. Her work can be found in private collections throughout the country. Recently, she has ventured into the three-dimensional world of ceramics, making figurative sculpture and functional pottery.

As an avid gardener, Judith also brings her design talents to her flowerbeds. She can often be found contentedly in her Virginia gardens at Lot 5 studio, drawing inspiration from what she has sown, and merging paints and brushes with paper and petal.
