Artist's Bio

Jude Niosi is a Connecticut-based multidisciplinary artist and designer whose work bridges the disciplines of design and fine art. Raised in Brooklyn, New York, she earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Digital Arts and Design from Long Island University’s C.W. Post Campus and an MBA in Entrepreneurial Thinking from Bay Path University. Her undergraduate studies included art history, drawing, and painting, providing a formal foundation that she has continued to build upon through years of self-directed study, experimentation, and studio practice.

By day, Jude serves as Principal UX Designer (Head of Design) for a Florida-based hearing-care startup, where she leads user experience strategy, accessibility, and visual communications. With a career spanning decades in branding, digital product design, and visual storytelling, she brings a designer’s sensibility for structure, composition, and narrative to her painting practice.

Working primarily in mixed media and oil, Jude creates expressive, layered works that move between abstract realism and more conceptual explorations. Her paintings investigate themes of identity, power, conflict, perception, and resilience, while also embracing experimentation, observation, and the unexpected. Pre-painted papers, collage elements, and gestural mark-making introduce spontaneity, while oil painting provides cohesion and depth, allowing tension and balance to coexist within the work

Her work has been selected for juried exhibitions at Essex Art Gallery in Essex, Connecticut, and Gallery 25 in New Milford, Connecticut, along with additional regional exhibitions throughout the state. She is a member of Arts Center Killingworth, Spectrum Art Gallery, Essex Art Association, Lyme Art Association, and the New Britain Museum of American Art

Jude continues to evolve her practice through ongoing experimentation, allowing intuition and structure to guide a visual language that remains in constant development.
