Welcome to JudyScotchford.com


This website displays my mixed media art. I use some unique painting techniques to create my art, and wish to show you some of my work which is also available for purchase as original artworks, or as prints or cards. There are descriptions and stories about each of my paintings so be sure to click on the ‘read more’ to discover how and why I painted each piece of art.

Some of the money I raise through sale of my artwork, prints and cards goes directly to sponsorship of some schools in Africa and some wildlife Conservation Projects. These are listed in the description of the artworks or in my blog. Please help if you can.

New Work for ‘A Brush with Africa III’ exhibition starting on 11th June

This is the third exhibition of paintings of African  subjects by Judy, Lyn Ellison and Peta Boyce who have shared many African adventures. On our latest safari to Kenya we managed to catch the drama of the peak of Wildebeest migration on the Masai Mara, and the attendant predators – lion, leopard, cheetah and hyena. In contrast to this, we delighted in  the antics of young elephants, and cheetah and lion cubs. At Laikipia, we revisited a village, where I  took copies of portraits I painted from a previous visit and the Witch Doctor/Chief was so delighted he gave me a necklace and bangle made in the village.

At this exhibition we will be raising funds for a small, independent school we visited just outside Nairobi. The artists were the first Westerners to visit the school, which on its own, supports over 30 orphans.

Here are some images of a few of the  new paintings. You can have a preview of all the paintings as I add them  BRUSH WITH AFRICA section of the GALLERY

New York to Nairobi

20 – 29 th September, 2009

While this trip diary is to tell you about our African experiences on our last visit to Kenya in ’09, I feel I have to first mention the fabulous time we all had in New York where we stayed for 8 days on our way to Nairobi.
