After my retirement, my husband and I moved from Neenah to the Iola area in Waupaca County. The beauty of the area inspired me to devote much of my time to photography. It had always been a passion of mine and I've earned a number of awards at juried art shows.
My camera is never far from my side. Through photography, I�ve learned to slow down and observe the beauty that surrounds us. Combining photography with digital art is my expression of capturing that beauty. The discovery of fern leaves, ice crystals, flower petals, and nature is an adventure through the lens of a camera. Colors, composition, lighting and creativity are topmost in my quest.
My hobby has turned into a small business, named JJ's Images, whereby I display and sell my work privately, at area businesses and at art shows within a 6 county area. I've also done and continue to do custom orders for businesses and private individuals.
My portfolio consists mostly of Wisconsin local scenes, along with floral and wildlife. Additional online galleries may be viewed at http://www.pbase.com/judyjohnson and at http://fineartamerica.com/profiles/3-judy-johnson.html.
