Judy Day loves the outdoors and has hiked and sketched in the High Sierras most of her life. “My art is inspired by my trips into the Sierras, vacations around the world, majestic landscapes, historical sites and almost everything in my neighborhood. You never know what will catch your eye and inspire you.” Day has been selected to be the featured artist for November at the Sutter Creek Gallery. Although she works in a variety of media, watercolor is her favorite.
The artist holds a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Graphic Design and a K-12 California Teaching Credential in Art Education and Math from Art Center School of Design and Cal State Northridge. She recently retired from 20+ years teaching in Burbank, California and moved to Jackson in April 2010.
Day’s art credits include illustrating three educational children’s books; designing numerous brochures, posters, paintings and cards; and constructing three by twelve-foot long cut-paper banners that hang seasonally in the First Christian Church of North Hollywood’s Sanctuary. Each summer, she directs a week long art camp for children in grades 3 through 8 in Studio City, California. She is currently serving as the President of the Amador County Artists Association.
Throughout her career, Day has received numerous awards and ribbons for her paintings at the Amador County Fair, Ironstone winery and the Lodi Art League Show. In addition, she was named 1994 Burbank Woman of the Year and received the 1996 Outstanding Teacher Award given by the LA Times and CSUN School of Education. In 2002 Day was nominated for the California League of Middle Schools Educator of the Year.
