Judit Iványosi Szabó
I am delighted to debut here the gallery of a talented new artist from Hungary, Judit Iványosi Szabó. Judit's creativity extends not just to some spectacularly fine paintings but also to some very skillful cane weaving so I have included for your enjoyment some examples of the latter along with her excellent paintings.

Meet
Judit Iványosi Szabó
I am originally from Hungary.
I was born in Kecskemet where the famous music teacher and.composer Zoltan Kodaly was also born.
I started to play the violin when I was 9 and continued my studies in a conservatory. When I went to college, I was playing in a symphonic orchestra, founded an Irish band and an authentic Baroque ensemble in the same time.
I was also asked to teach violin for kids aged 6-10 in the local music school, which I happily did.
Here in the UK I usually play Irish gigs with friends which is always lots of fun!
We moved to the UK four-and-a-half years ago and I started to work in a furniture restoration workshop.
I immediately fell in love with cane weaving and I specialised in the most difficult patterns that I could find. Now I also teach classes for those who want to learn this dying art, both in Hungary and UK.
I love drawing since I was very little, made a lot of graphics when I was a teenager, although at that time I was mostly building my violinist career.
I loved reading art history books and visiting exhibitions.
In 2015 I started to paint watercolours and soon I got my very first buyers. I am self-taught both in cane weaving and watercolour painting. I am also member of The Basketmakers' Association and The Society for All Artists.
