Judy is based on the Gold Coast, QLD where she has found her niche using watercolours and water-based mixed media. This has allowed her to indulge in a more diverse form of expression, creating paintings of luminescent lustre with a touch of flamboyant colour, harmonising with her renewed art connection. Inspired to go further with her art, Judy has set up her own Art Studio in order to share her expertise with other aspiring artists and has since become an established tutor holding regular classes & workshops for beginners and experienced artists who wish to explore their creativity in watercolour and water-based mixed media. Judy conducted her first overseas art tour to Italy & Provence, as well as an Outback Art tour to Ningaloo Reef W.A. in 200. She has also been a regular tutor in Brisbane for the QLD Watercolour Soc. and McGregor Winter Schools USQ in Toowoomba. Her paintings have been successfully exhibited in venues on the Gold Coast, Brisbane and Sydney. In addition, her paintings have found their way into private collections throughout NSW, QLD and Canada. Judy’s works can be viewed on her website: www.judyzart.com What past attendees thought (0)
