Judy Filarecki

I've been painting professionally since 1994 using acrylics, oils, pastels and watercolor. Because of allergies to the paints, I have been painting on the computer using the Corel Painter Software for about 4 years.

I use all my traditional techniques but also take advantage of the tools that create special effects.

In 2012, I realized that I was gluten sensitive, so I started writing articles teaching both about painting and gluten-free, sugar-free recipes.

I love to teach and write.
