\u201cThe star attraction at Alta Luna, in the figurative arena, is Judy Araujo Volkmann, who is best recognized for her large-in-scale, highly expressive and colorful portraits of women\u2019s faces, as exemplified by \u201cPasserby.\u201d Volkmann\u2019s portraits are full of movement and energy, with wild trailing brush lines. Her intention is to depict imaginative appearances of physical characteristics with the hope that they reveal hidden psychological aspects. To do this she purposefully sets her figures in what she calls \u201cvoids,\u201d where time and place is negated to create ambiguous atmosphere. The super up-close, in-your-face arrangements can\u2019t be ignored and immediately grab viewer attention.\u201d
