Judy is an Irish artist living and working in the beautiful seaside village of Ardmore, Co. Waterford.
Inspired to pick up a brush over 30 years ago, her interest and skills have taken her from that first class in Ireland to training in Florence and eventually into a full-time career.
Judy studied at the Angel Academy of Art, Florence, Italy over several summers. It was there that she immersed herself in oil painting, specifically working in the classical tradition. Under the guiding hand of Maestro John Michael Angel, her love of realism was nurtured and her skills honed. Judy has attended a masterclass with Maestro Angel every summer for several years in Florence and subsequently online.
In 2017 Judy completed a Professional Development Programme in Dubai, facilitated by Tashkeel Art Hub. Together with a Life & Business Coaching Diploma undertaken in Ireland, Judy has found that she can coach and mentor interested artists that attend workshops she runs.
Since returning to Ireland full time, Judy now holds workshops in her studio in Ardmore. She has also taught watercolours at Day Care Centres in Co. Waterford and at local ETB courses and also offers free classes to local communities in Piltown and Ardmore.
Judy has taught and passed on her skills to adults over the years in Ireland and the UAE. She has been a member of Tashkeel Art Hub (www.tashkeel.org) where she holds workshops, and the Dubai International Art Centre (www.artdubai.com) in both watercolour and oil painting.
