Artist Has a Love of Painting, Teaching
Decorative artist Judy Dodson enjoys working in a multiple mediums, but got her start as a painter. In fact, Dodson said she has two passions: painting and teaching. The artist divides her time between her two talents.
The painter has taught for 25 years. During that time she has instructed others both privately in her home as well as teaching area Girl Scout leaders how to create fun art projects. The leaders then in turn teach their troops the skill.
“In many cases they haven’t even held a paint brush,” she said of her pupils.
Dodson said she loves instructing the troop leaders, partly because she knows the majority of her students are novices in the area of art.
“I truly believe what I enjoy the most is teaching people that they don’t have to be born with the ability to create art,” she said.
Even though she has more than three decades of experience, the visual artist has had no formal training. She discovered her ability while attending a class to make a Dip and Drape doll. Dodson said she started painting in 1973, and began teaching shortly after that.
