About the Artist

A 1981 graduate of Allentown High School, Allentown, NJ, Jude was awarded a full scholarship to attend Mt. Holyoke College where she earned her BA, majoring in studio art and art history. As a Dana Fellowship recipient, she studied painting with Syracuse University in Florence, Italy in 1986. After nearly an 18 year ‘hiatus’ from practicing art, she has returned to pursue her passion for painting. Jude currently teaches fine art in Brick Township, NJ where she was recognized by her school as ‘teacher of the year’ in 2004 and received the distinguished NJ Governor’s award. Jude is a member of the National Association of Women Artists in NYC and a board member for the Art Educators of NJ.

Her oil paintings and collages are a reflection of who she is as an artist, a mother and an
educator. Her greatest inspirations are children. She resides at the Jersey shore with her
husband, daughter and son.
