Current CHRISTINA Program







Judith Kudlow
























Common Ground Committee



Judith Kudlow, artist, teacher and former lobbyist, who is married to economist Larry Kudlow, is appearing on the Christina Show. Judith talked to me about her involvement with The Common Ground Committee and endeavour to make a difference in issues are discussed and solved. The interview will be broadcast on Cablevision's Channel 88 on Tuesday september 6th at 8:30pm and again on Thursday on September 8th at 5:30pm. The show will run through September 29th on Tuesdays and Thursdays at the above times.

Ms. Kudlow is a member of a group of concerned individuals who formed the Common Ground Committee. The Common Ground Committee is dedicated to making a grass-roots effort to improve today’s toxic tone of discussion on issues of national importance. Our motto is “Bringing Light Not Heat to Public Discourse
The Common Ground Committee is a non-for-profit group that produces free public forums that debate the political issues of today. Their speakers are from opposite sides of an issue and in the forum are encouraged to find common ground. The next forum will be held on November 14th at the Cole Auditorium in Greenwich Library at 7:30pm. The topic will be "Rethinking Taxes. For more information go to http://www.commongroundcommittee.org/

I am interested in following this group's progress in their mission of bringing civility to the political conversations and to encouraging public figures to get above the fray and actually find the common ground that can lead to real solutions to the world current challenges .





I hope to invite Judith back to talk about her fine paintings and The Harlem Studio of Art- Stay tuned.

About Judith Kudlow



Judith , a Montana native, now resides in New York City, where she received her art training. Her working method is based on the nineteenth century academic tradition which emphasizes working from life to produce paintings based on precise drawing, careful modeling to produce the three-dimensional illusion, harmonious and accurate colors and values, and compositions based on time-honored rules. Her subjects include figures, portraits, still life, and landscape. Her interest in classical drapery studies has led her most recently to produce a series of paintings using contemporary draped subjects, primarily shirts. Her studio is a third-floor loft in a century-old cabinet maker’s building in East Harlem, which is also the location of her atelier, The Harlem Studio of Art, opened in 2002 with Andrea Smith, a Florence Academy graduate.
