I discovered Judy Woods when I saw her mentioned repeatedly on Facebook and Instagram. I was intrigued by the creative product that came from her students, so I took her stARTs course and loved it. Judy lives in New Zealand, and offers a fresh insight into abstract painting, giving the viewers the confidence to experiment and play with paint and assorted tools. She has a calm and peaceful demeanor and her encouragement comes through loud and clear.
Here is a sample of Judy’s Instagram page:

Laurie Salmela was my very first art teacher; she held a two-hour class in watercolor on a Saturday long ago – I attended and was hooked. A few years later she invited me to share her studio/gallery at the Northrup King Building in the heart of the Minneapolis Art District. I have been there over 12 years and she is still teaching me.
