Judy Stroup

Judy spent her early childhood years on a small Missouri family farm before moving to the St. Louis area. The impressions from those early years fostered an appreciation and love of nature which eventually let her to pursue landscape as her main genre. Judy’s art education has been primarily self-directed with college classes and private study. She continues to learn through workshops from prominent artists. She has worked in watercolor, graphite and oil. The process of drawing and painting from life is important to her. “Working from direct observation enables me to see and be engaged in the world in a more intimate way. I always come away from the experience with indelible memories of that time and place.” Capturing that ‘sense of place’ and sharing that essence is the goal she strives for in her work.
