Judy and her husband, Bill retired to South Carolina in 1994. She is currently working with watercolors, mixed media and collages. She is also experimenting with furniture painting. Her love for the ocean and the beach has greatly influenced her work. She is known for her paintings of underwater sea life.

When Judy is not in her studio painting you can find her at the beach looking for treasures and inspiration.
