Her work has been featured throughout Central Florida, as well as in the premier international art show, Art Basel in Miami Beach. Her paintings have been sold all over the country. She was proud of her Irish heritage and loved to travel to Europe, especially her favorite country, Ireland, where she visited both the O'Donoghue-Ross Castle in Killarney and O'Donoghue's Pub in downtown Dublin. Her family heritage dated back to her great grandfather, Dr. John O'Donoghue, of Ireland and Uruguay who was Teddy Roosevelt's veterinary surgeon for the Rough Riders. This relationship resulted in a family reunion in Buenos Aires in 2008 with over 100 of her relatives from all over the world. More than anything, Judy loved spending time with her family and friends. Her most precious memories were at the beach spending long hours next to her loved ones and capturing God's beautiful landscape on canvas. Her love for Christ was first and foremost and she carried this love into each relationship. She was a true "fisher of men," forever impacting the hearts and minds of those she encountered.
