: Judy Rogan; In 2009 Judy Rogan picked up a paintbrush and her life, as well as the Grand Junction, Colorado art scene, hasn't been the same. She was honored with the winning painting called "Tipsy Trails" for the Colorado Mountain Winefest poster. Judy is also in demand as an animal character artist and has been featured on the Roice Hurst Humane Society fund raising wine label in 2012. Starting with oils and dabbling in watercolors she currently prefers painting with acrylics for their fast drying, bright colors and translucency. The whimsy and joy that Judy feels when she paints is clearly reflected in her work. From the artist's website
