Biography

My name is Judy Fowler and I am from Durham, NC. My husband and I enjoy spending time on Smith Mountain Lake in VA on our houseboat having good times with family and friends.
I have an art studio on our boat as well as in my home. I enjoy traveling and often find inspiration from places I go. I keep a camera with me to take photos of things I see that inspire me to paint. I enjoy painting people, animals, landscapes, homes, seascapes, boats, lake scenes and birds.
I am a self taught artist. I work mostly from photographs. I find that to work best for me since I have to fit painting into my life as time allows. That way I can paint at my own pace and the light doesn't change and the the subject doesn't get tired. I welcome commissioned paintings from your photographs. I enjoy as much as painting the beauty of the world and all the great subject matter that God has supplied me with. Everywhere I look there is something I want to capture in a watercolor.
