Biography from AskART:
| Western Artist Judy Allen was born in Springfield, Vermont, in 1945, and moved with her family to Southern California at age twelve. Judy now lives in rural Nevada where she paints cowboys, cattle drives, ranch life, and the wildlife that abounds in the deserts and mountains around her home.
Allen has been drawing and painting since she was a little girl. Her first teacher was her father, an artist and sign painter. She has studied life drawing at El Camino College in Los Angeles and was awarded a scholarship from the Art Center in Los Angeles. Since that time she has been largely self-taught. Allen has also been teaching drawing and painting for many years and continues teaching from her home in Nevada.
Western art collectors from Nevada, California, Hawaii, Texas, Illinois, Minnesota, and Massachusetts, have purchased many of her oil paintings. Her work has also been exhibited in the Nevada State Legislature, various casinos in Nevada, and the Lyon County Museum.
Allen's work has been exhibited in several galleries and Western Invitational Art Shows. In February and March, 1995, the Nevada Museum of Art held an Exhibition of twenty-two of Allen's paintings. She is also a guest lecturer at the Museum and teaches oil painting and drawing techniques.
Allen's awards include two second place ribbons and a third place ribbon for oil paintings at the Death Valley '49ers Art Show in Death Valley, California. In 1991 she was awarded the "Best of Show" and "People's Choice" ribbons at the Nevada State Fair in Reno, Nevada. Allen's paintings have been voted "Artist's Choice of Show" by fellow artists at the Sierra Heritage Fine Art Show in Kernville, California.
