She is a member of Allied Artists of West Virginia and the West Virginia Watercolor Society.
Her disciplines include watercolor, acrylics, mixed media. Collage, mono print and woodblock printing.
Judith says “Art relaxes and energizes me. I love the challenge of painting, mixing colors and learning new techniques.”

Jo Anne Jacobs is a native West Virginian. After finishing her teaching career, she fed her interest in art by participating in workshops conducted by local and nationally known artists.
