Judy Gelfert grew up on her family's ranch in Bowie, Texas, where she discovered her joy of drawing and painting at a very young age. Her interest in art led her to earn two years of studio art credits at the University of Texas at Austin while majoring in History and German. She then began a career as a flight attendant and was based in London, San Francisco, Santiago de Chile, and Washington D.C. During this time, Judy began experimenting with oils, painting on her days off, inspired by her travels.
In 2002, she became a full-time artist. Since then she has shown her work on the local and national level, winning numerous awards - among them, 1st Place in the National Society of Artists' 22nd National Juried Competition, and entries in the 2005 and 2006 Oil Painters of America National Juried Competition. In 2006, Judy became a mom and has been juggling painting and mothering, but she still paints and teaches workshops and art classes every chance she gets every chance she gets. Judy has been a member of the CTAA since 2009, and her work can be seen on her website: www.judygelfert.com
