Born in 1942,  Judith  was discovered at age 6 to be a prodigy in the  area of painting, and given the opportunity to learn to paint in oils.  Painting, exhibiting and selling artwork has been a constant throughout her life.

Judith moved to Sonoma County in 1973,  and still loves painting the beautiful landscape we have here.  She is also committed to working in the community and has spent the last 11 years serving on the County's Area Agency on Aging Council.

Her methodology includes working on site in watercolor,  then using those images as references in her studio to create large oils.  "I like to use watercolor to lay out the geometry of a landscape, keeping the image as accurate as possible. Then when I am working in oils, I can 'play' more, as i have the parameters, the structure, already down."  She has an enduring love of painting limestone formations and has followed the trail of limestone, through many countries in Southeast Asia.   She taught at the International School in Singapore  in 1991 and 1992.   After retiring in 1993, Judith spent almost seven years living on an island off the coast of Thailand, painting and selling artwork.

Judith is an acknowledged world expert in the area of holography (3-D laser photography),  creating the first moving hologram of scanning electron microscope information for the Smithsonian in 1980; for this, she was made a fellow of the Royal Microscopal  Society (London) in 1987.

She currently shelters-in-place painting in her garden.
