“Judi has given me a place to go to paint with a supportive and welcoming community. My painting and confidence in myself as an artist have grown tremendously in my time taking classes with Judi. I’ve been pushed to paint new things and to try new techniques, such as painting with texture or painting abstract designs. Judi fosters an environment conducive to experimentation and play, while also helping artists meet their own unique goals.”
