Udy Edet was born in Nigeria and came to the United States while in elementary school. She grew up in Washington, D.C., but now resides in Tucson, Arizona, where the Southwest has influenced her aesthetic and medium. Edet is a self-taught artist who works in oil, watercolor and alcohol pigments. She has studied with masters in the United States and taken workshops at the Art Students League in New York City. Her work utilizes the broad canvas of nature, drawing inspiration from the Tucson landscapes that’s known for its deep rich skies and quiet beauty.
Infinite Sunset, alcohol ink on board, 25 x 25”
Her work has, for a long time, drawn inspiration from the female form. Her work evokes feelings of fantasy and celebrates the beauty of nature and of the natural. She creates are of affirmation and harmony. The canvases evoke the mystery of an ephemeral moment. Edet’s love of art has been inspired by past masters including Alphonse Mucha and Gustav Klimt who celebrated beauty and gifted us a respite at each glance.
