about
Judy Hoffman is a full-time education technologist and part-time photographer currently living in Southern California. Her first camera, a Kodak Instamatic, took advantage of the magic of flash cube technology and was all the impetus she needed to create her first photographic essay.
She began to formally study photography in high school and has studied fine art photography at Ringling College of Art + Design, Santa Fe Workshops, and the Los Angeles Center of Photography.
She is a recipient of the President's Volunteer Award for her efforts advocating for technology in K-6 education and teaching digital photography to children and adults in Los Angeles. In addition, she was awarded the Prix de Paris for her abstract photography. Her work can be found in private collections in Los Angeles, New York and North Carolina and has appeared in Lenscratch and F-Stop magazine.

Artist statement
When I create imagery I try to capture colors, concepts or ideas that prompt the viewer to contemplate, evaluate, and wonder. The QR Code Project lives at the intersection of emerging technologies and creativity, which prompted me to question the definition of a digital photograph and explore new possibilities for exhibition space.
My artistic instincts are greatly influenced by the American artist Ellsworth Kelly, creators and designers David Kelley and Sir Ken Robinson, the innovators at the MIT Media Lab and Google X and the photographer’s mentor, Aline Smithson.
I am equally influenced by place and would like to acknowledge the cities of Santa Fe, New York, Los Angeles, Jerusalem, Madrid and Alexandria (Egypt, not Virginia) for shaping who I am as an artist and helping me to understand the importance of good lighting.
