She loved all animals and many of her first paintings were of horses and wildlife. She grew up in San Diego, California, during the Second World War. Her fraternal grandmother took care of her while her parents worked. Her grandmother was influential in encouraging her to draw, even saving many of her first sketches of people. At the age of five the family moved to a small town. It was in the country, and Judith and her dog, Blackie soon became acclimated to the different life style, chasing lizards, snakes and all sorts of critters.In high school she was an art major, and hoped to go on to an art school in Los Angeles to become a fashion designer, but she was young and her parents did not want her to live that far from home. She began her professional art career at twenty five after she married and her one daughter was four and the other a baby.
