Judy works primarily in oil on canvas.  Always compelled to express herself visually, her paintings describe mythology, religion, dreams, and imagination as well as landscapes, still life, and figurative life studies.  Judy sees her paintings as poetic expressions of her mental state.

Judy earned a Master of Studio Arts from Case Western Reserve and the Cleveland Institute of Art, although her academic background also includes literature, drama, and education.

Her work has been exhibited in numerous galleries and has earned various awards.  Judy considers the most meaningful of her awards to be the National Art Education Teacher/Artist Award (1993) through the Marie Walsh Sharpe Art Foundation Fellowship.
