Judy

Growing up in Pittsburgh, Judy was always looking for things to create and paint. Discovering so many different crafts and artwork, she decided she wanted to be an artist. But, as a single Mom she spent 30 years working in the insurance industry as a Corporate Insurance Broker helping growing businesses protect their most valuable assets. During that time, she remained involved with art, as a teacher of stained glass and folk art painting. When her Daughter introduced her to Painting With A Twist, she realized that the concept of bringing Family and Friends together through the tool of painting was something she was determined to bring to her community as a gathering place for people of all ages to paint, drink wine, relax, and just have fun. That is how Painting With A Twist of Greensburg was born.
