She was also selected as a participating artist in the Texas Art Connection art book of current Texas artists available through Amazon.
Judi says of her work, “As a career medical illustrator, I have always been a technical, representational artist yet over the years, have developed eclectic tastes in painting subjects and how we traditionally view them. I am drawn to detail and how light and shadow visually affects objects and color within a still life, portrait or landscape, no matter what angle. I try to create depth and excitement in a painting by balancing the lights and darks within the colors and the over- all composition. My goal is to draw the viewer into a painting and to spend time enjoying that painting."
