In 2001, Judy was fortunate to be one of only 75 international applicants to be juried into Robert Bateman’s artists’ seminar, where her keen interest in wildlife art was cemented. Since that time, the artist has gone on to win awards and acceptance into many regional and national wildlife art competitions, shows and exhibitions. Such shows include “Art of the Animal Kingdom IX & X” in Bennington, Vermont, the "National Wildlife Art Exhibit" in Henderson, Kentucky, the “Florida Wildlife Art Expo”, and ”Southeastern Miniature Invitational”, North Carolina. Her first two duck stamp entries placed twelveth and then tenth consecutively in the Federal Duck Stamp Contest. In both 2002 and 2004, Judith was selected as “Wildlife Artist of the Year” at the New York State Wildlife Art Competition at the State Fair in Syracuse, where her work also won the People’s Choice Award in 2002. Featured artist of several wildlife shows this year, Judith is also an associate member of the Society of Animal Artists.

Judith's work has gone to support many organizations concerned with wildlife and environmental conservation, and she considers the time spent in the field as one of the most rewarding aspects of her career. "Nature provides me, as an artist, with such an endless supply of texture, mystery, and emotion that I feel it could never be fully explored in a lifetime. It is that endless beauty and wildness that I love to try to capture in my work." In addition to observing and painting the abundant wildlife in her own back yard, Judith takes every opportunity to experience new environments and observe the animals they support. From the Tetons of Wyoming to California's Joshua Tree National Forest, she has been fortunate to see the incredible richness and variety of our wild places.

Expanding her horizons, Judith has traveled to Africa recently to photograph and paint the many animals of Kenya.

The artist works out of her studio in Glenwood, NY, where she lives with her husband and daughter.
