"For
me, painting is an attempt to capture those magic moments when time stops
and we are most fully alive. My passion is to paint
people engaged and absorbed by whatever they are doing and capturing those
"moments in time" that invoke and create memories. |

impressionism and the teachings of Sergei Bongart and Nicolai Fechin.
Judy shares her life and passion for art with her husband Larry. They enjoy the opportunities of a common interest
