Judy Joel has not had any formal art training and simply paints from the heart.   She was educated at a Convent School in Sussex, and in 1965 became a Production Assistant at the BBC, where she met her husband Paul, a Production Designer.

In 1971 (not 1871 as previously stated!!!!) she left the BBC and became a full time "Mum" and started to paint.   Art aqnd creative pleasures being always very important at home, both her children are also persuing artistic careers.

Judy comes from a large and united family and had a bright and happy childhood.   Her naive paintings freflect this contentment and warmth.   Most of the paintings she does are commissioned by people for themselves or others.

She has painted people's houses, gardens, schools, villages and weddings, as well as many Christmas and Greeting cards for charities and private companies.   Her trade marks are her "mouse" signature and the white haired figure of her Mother "Katie" with a dog, which can be found in every painting.
