Judy Darragh is a highly respected NZ artist renowned for her brightly coloured sculptural assemblages of recycled items, industrial materials and found objects, as well as video, collage, photography and poster art. 

She has exhibited widely since the 1980’s and is well known for her ambitious works which alter public spaces in incredible ways. Her works are held in numerous public and private collections and In 2004 the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa featured a major retrospective of her work entitled 'Judy Darragh: So... you made it?'.

Judy lives and works in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland, where she has played a significant role in the development of a number of artist-run spaces and has acted as mentor for a wide range of artists. She is also co-publisher of Femisphere, a long-term project interested in encouraging inclusivity and visibility of women's practices in the visual arts sector of Aotearoa.
