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. Visitors to Sutter
Creek Gallery will have an opportunity to view her work on all these surfaces
during November when Day will be the featured artist.
Day teaches art locally to both children and
adults. During the school year, she teaches
watercolor painting to local fourth graders as part of the Arts
Council’s elementary arts education program. In the summer she
returns to her former Southern California home to direct a week-long children’s
art camp. She has illustrated three
educational children’s books as well as numerous posters and brochures. Day also handles framing duties at the
gallery.
Sutter Creek Gallery invites you to spend
