Jude Kusnierz

Jude Kusnierz is a self-taught artist with a passion for contemporary art and design. Her fluid, organic landscapes are full of twists and turns and explore themes of love, growth, and improvisational journeys.

In 1997, she started embellishing martini glasses. Seven years later, her company, With A Twist Designs, was selling unique, hand-painted glassware to over 400 top galleries and boutiques across North America. 

When her workplace suffered an electric fire that destroyed the building and most of her work, she searched for a replacement with a few key factors in mind: community, collaboration, and opportunity for cross-pollination. Thus, The Beaumont Studios, a thriving artists' collective, was born. 

Jude’s love of life shines through in all of the work she does. In addition to being the founder and creative director of the Beaumont Studios, she is also a dynamic art entrepreneur, a tireless promoter, and a prolific artist in her own right. Her canvases are as large and bright as her enthusiasm and show, consistently, how dark areas are overcome by light.
