Because of Judy’s natural talent for portraiture, she has developed a unique caricature style, in essence creating “Portraicatures”, with large heads and small bodies or head shots if preferred (but decidedly different than the over-exaggerated style that may be unkind or grossly inaccurate in portraying a person’s distinctive features). She strives to capture her subjects in a flattering way!
