Artist Statement:
Judith grew up in spacious,
rolling Iowa farm country,
learning at an early age to
appreciate the beauty of
animals, both in the wild and
as patient servants and
companions of man; the pride
of the men who worked the
land; and the land itself.
Her interest in art
parallels her interest in
animals. Her watercolors and
pencil paintings show a
mastery of the medium and
attention to detail. However,
she respects the need for more
than just photographic
realism. She has a need to
convey the spirit or mood;
feeling that each individual
painting must have its own
life.
She loves the stories that
the American West has to tell
in the reflections of its old
buildings, weathered wood and
hidden corners. She tries to
share scenes of wildlife that
might not be witnessed
firsthand.
Judith is primarily a
self-taught artist with the
exception of the two years she
worked at Hallmark Cards. She
considers that job, and a
couple of private classes to
be her primary educational
period, with each painting
adding an ongoing new
knowledge and perspective.
"Lost is our
heritage but for our visions".

| Your Personal Biography |
Judith grew up in spacious, rolling Iowa farm country. She learned at an early age to appreciate the beauty of animals, both in the wild and as patient servants and companions of man; the pride of the men who worked the land; and the land itself. Judith's interest in art paralleled her interest in animals, and her knowledge of them increased with her skill at depicting them. Her watercolors and pencils show a mastery of the medium, and attention to detail, combined with a respect for the need for more than just photographic realism, the need to convey the spirit or mood, feeling that each individual painting must have its own life. It has always been important to Judith to paint stories of what she sees outside and feels inside. Her watercolors have carried many ribbons throughout the years. She is primarily a self taught artist with the exception of her senior art class in high school and over two years at Hallmark Cards. She is a member of the Society of Animal Artists, and the Equine Art Guild. Lost is our heritage but for our visions.
