 Welcome to Judith Durr's Native American Indian and Southwestern Art Gallery

Judith Durr is Choctaw/Cherokee and she paints Native American oil paintings representing  Southwestern still life, historical research and western life.

Choctaw artist, Judith Durr's original oil paintings are internationally recognized. As a Native American artist, Judith Durr has a dynamic and unique style with her  painted illusion of textures and fabric. Judith is known for her native beaded moccassin paintings and the detail paintings of her rug background. Setting her work apart from other still life artists, Judith's signature is the detailed  painted rugs in the background of each her still life paintings. Her exquisite paintings is done with layers, time and patience.

  " My passion is the journey of producing the superior oil  paintings.  I maintain my identity and heritage through my artwork. "  Judith Durr

 Judith consistently paints the detailed rug background from the rugs she has collected over the years. Many of the native rugs, beaded mocassins and the jewelry Judith uses, are old family pieces acquired while her family lived on the Navajo reservation in Montezuma Creek, Utah. It was these formative years that have given Judith Durr's the inspiration for her exquisite oil paintings. Some of her artifacts come from Judith's talented family members, her husband, mother, father and son. Her love for bead work came from her mother, who influenced her daughter with her wonderful talent and patience. Judith collects Native artifacts, from South America to Canada. Her collection of authentic artifacts gives her source material to create the most accurate subject matter for her twelve layer oil paintings.

Judith Durr has received the honors of having her images used for:
  • 2010 Poster for the Pueblo Grande Museum
  • 2009 Poster for E.P.A. American Indian Heritage Month
