About Artist Judy Bruce: Judy Paxton Bruce was born in the small town of Danville, Illinois on a lake with forests and gardens in her backyard. Everyone knew, even when she was young, that Judy was an artist because of her constant coloring and drawing on the paper she dragged everywhere. From fourth grade on, her teachers sat her at the back of the classroom painting for local art contests. In college, as now, painting and printmaking were her favorites but after walking into the classroom, she fell in love with teaching and spent thirty-five years teaching elementary and junior high art. During that time she spent summers painting and had an antique and folk art business. Soon after retirement, Judy and her husband Jim moved to Cave Creek after falling in love with its beauty and serenity. Judy now paints and works with mixed media full time in her studio on Galloway Wash in Cave Creek.
