The award winning artist in the central valley of California. Her love of art goes back to early childhood. Combined with her love of horses and the outdoors, this love of art has beautiful expression in paintings that people admire and enjoy.

Having raised three children, she now devotes time to honing her skills at oils, both pleinaire and at her easel. She accurately depicts horses because she owns and rides one which gives her close perspective into their personality. The chickens she paints are also enjoyed at stables everywhere; they are a ready subject also.

She has painted many commissions of animal portraits as well as polo games in progress! The person most influential in her equine painting is Joan McIntyre, a contemporary equine artist now living in North Carolina. When she lived close by, Judy took advantage of many instructional hours with Joan.

Workshops are another way she continues her education. Many California artists have conducted short, intense five day courses, which help direct her talents in correct application of classical techniques. She has taken this type of instruction from Camile Przewodek, Elizabeth Tolley, Ray Roberts and Paul Buxman during the last few years.

Murals painted in acrylics and other mediums have been done also, to lend variety and spice to her artistic career. She has dabbled in Ceramics & glass painting. Her painted tiles have been installed in bathrooms as permanent artwork. The direction her art is taking is to paint portraits of children. With this challenge, she is continuing to increase in knowledge & ability in order to become proficient in this also.
