Judy Hopkins
Born in Montreal and raised in Toronto, Judy spent close to forty years living in the heart of the city while teaching elementary school in
North York. She studied art throughout high school, a year of Fine Art at the University of Toronto and completed her Visual Arts Specialist at the Faculty of Education at the University of Toronto. But it wasn't until she retired that she really began to paint, first in acrylics and then oils. She attended classes at the Gallery School of the Art Gallery of Ontario and quickly realized she needed more space than a city loft afforded. The search for a studio and a change of scenery eventually brought her and her partner to a country property in the Northumberland Hills near Baltimore in the fall of 2006.
Since moving, she has taken classes with Joanne Purdy, Lucy Manley, and Melanie Browne and has shown her work in a variety of shows in Port Hope, Cobourg, Warkworth and Belleville. She is a member of the Cobourg Art Club, the Friday Morning Art Group and Spirit of the Hills. She is thrilled to have sold several paintings and looks forward to many more such opportunities in the future.
