Artist's Bio:
Jude Welter was born and raised in southwestern Montana,
moving with her family to Oregon as a teen. She has always done some sort of
art, from a very early age, but as a young mother, she enrolled in Mt. Hood
Community College to learn the graphics trade. This landed her a job with an
advertising agency, as the staff artist—a job that used her pen & ink
skills. After this, she spent 8 years as co-owner of the historic Fellows
House Gallery and Restaurant in Oregon City.
Teaching what she has learned has always given Jude a great deal of
satisfaction, and many of her students have been featured in the ‘Picket
Fence Art Shows’ which were held from 1995-2002. In 2000, the show was
featured as a part of the Smithsonian Traveling Garden Exhibit and received
rave reviews. From that jumping off point, the ‘First city Arts Faire’ was
born in 2003, an event honoring all of the ‘firsts’ of Oregon City. Jude was
instrumental in co-chairing this incredible event which is growing and
including many new highlights as it enters its 3rd year of planning.
Jude has also orchestrated 8 years of the ‘P-Burg Paint-Out’, an en plenair
workshop in the beautiful Flint Creek Valley of Montana. It’s only natural
that as she has time to further explore Oregon, this need to share and teach
transparent watercolor has given her the opportunity to also teach for Lynne
Myers and her Art of Sisters workshops.
