Judy Day
loves the outdoors and has hiked and sketched in the high Sierras most of her
life. “My paintings are inspired by my trips into the
Sierras, vacations around the world, majestic landscapes, historical sites and almost
everything in my neighborhood,” she explained.
“I never know what will catch my eye and inspire me.”

Watercolor is the
favorite medium of the artist, having explored a variety of media throughout
her career. Most of the time she paints
on traditional watercolor paper. More
recently Day has rendered paintings on newer surfaces such as Yupo and
Aquabord, which provide a more fluid look.
