Judy Chia Hui Hsu is a visual artist. Her abstract work reveals the hidden beauty in nature. She explores ways to transform natural patterns and shapes into vibrant abstractions, using color gradients to amplify their vitality. Dramatic colors and striking forms bring her a sense of beauty and joy that she would like to share with her viewers.

​

Travel has been a primary source of inspiration for Hsu, as she’s set foot on every continent but Antarctica. Her imagination is fueled by the elegant curves of bonsai trees, the camouflage stripes of southern Africa’s zebras, Iceland’s frozen river deltas, the wild bird-of-paradise flowers that grew around her childhood home in Los Angeles, and more. 

​

Hsu’s artwork is influenced by her years as a journalist. She enjoyed writing about Arts and Entertainment for The Los Angeles Times and The Seattle Times, especially dance performances, where peaceful and frenetic movements alike tell stories through abstractions.

​

Her work has been shown in cities around the United States, including Los Angeles, San Francisco, Boston and New York. Hsu has a solo show at Seattle's Vermillion Art Gallery. She had a solo show and murals on view at the Pacific Bonsai Museum in the Seattle area.

 

Hsu​ holds degrees from Stanford University and the University of Southern California’s Graduate School of Journalism. She also studied at Oxford University. Born in Taipei, Taiwan, and raised in Los Angeles, Hsu is currently based in Seattle, and travels whenever she can.
