Judy started drawing and painting as a teenager in Denver. Her grandmother was an artist who worked in oils, and her mother majored in art and music at the University of Denver. Art was always part of her world. She took lessons in high school and learned to paint in oils, a medium she still loves for its colors.

Back in Colorado, Judy began drawing and painting dinosaurs and has illustrated three books on the subject. She volunteered at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science and did drawings for one of the curators, which brought her into the local paleontology community. She has recently been painting dogs and murals.

Judy is a longtime friend of fellow ArtFair artist Gary Raham, and the two collaborated on the Ankylosaurus Tee, which features Judy's drawing on top and Gary's dinosaur on the bottom :-)

Judy's path to dinosaur tees included nursing, Germany, Baltimore, Palo Alto, and real estate. Life had a lot of other plans before current-day Colorado called. Now she paints dinosaurs, dogs, and murals, and she does it with the same warmth and humor she brings to everything.

We are so glad Judy is part of the ArtFair family and that her work gets to go out into the world worn on besties who love it as much as she does.
