In 2009 New York artist Judith Braun began creating art pieces with her now famous technique known as fingerprinting. She uses monochromatic tones, mostly black and white. With the theme balance in mind I knew that I wanted to pick an artist that’s work showed symmetry and abstraction, and Braun’s work did just that. The way she effortlessly swirls her hands to create a brilliant design is extraordinary.
She uses graphite to create murals of balance and symmetrical beauty. The marks are so accurately positioned that one will find it hard to believe that her murals are actually not created with traditional equipment. Her first fingerprint drawing was displayed at the Artists Space, in New York City. Judith Ann Braun has had her work displayed in various museums including, the Chrysler Museum of Art, Indianapolis Museum of Art and other galleries in America.
Because balance is one of the crucial aspects in Braun’s work, an affect is created and so the mural is visually appealing to the eye. Her work is usually done on larger canvases that create a bigger impact.
Braun’s drawings are greatly affected by the theme balance and weather on a small or large-scale she still manages to create flawless escapades of art.

Intartpretations 
Hi there, I am so happy that you like my art work. I just thought I’d present a few corrections about the post, for the record. First of all, since they are done primarily with Charcoal, not with paint, I call them “drawings” and not “paintings”. Also I did not start doing them until 2009, not in 1980. Back in 1980 I was just beginning grad school, and at that time I was a realistic figure painter. The first Fingerprint wall drawing was at Artists Space, in New York City. By visiting my website (www.judithannbraun.com) you can see some of the early work and the other small pencil drawings I do now, called “Symmetrical Procedures”. Thank you for posting about my work. Wishing you the very best, Judith

Thank you so much for your feed back, I must admit I did freak out a bit when I noticed you JUDITH BRAUN commented on my post, made my day. I arranged certain things on the post so I’m hoping it’s better now. This is for school so I’m glad you corrected me. Continue creating wonderful works of art.
Once again thank you,
Roberta Micallef
