I was born in Kingston, Jamaica, and I have lived most of my life in South Florida. I credit the path I have chosen to my tenth grade art teacher discovering my talents. I attended the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale where I graduated with a degree in Advertising Design. Up until 1998 when I began painting, I had thought of myself as an illustrator, and now enjoy the freedom that painting gives me. Versatile in many different artistic styles and imagery, I like to explore different mediums and techniques; I consider this as a great learning process, allowing me to grow and improve my skills as an artist. I believe my talent is a gift from God, allowing me to do what I love. www.fineartandframing.com/new/index.php/artist/judeen Less
