Judy Saylor McElynn landed in Hilton Head after careers in Apparel and Interior Design in NYC, Washington DC and Philadelphia.  Her arrival in the Lowcountry allowed a dramatic shift into full time artistic pursuits.   In direct contrast to her earlier experience, she finds the liberating aspect of the fine art process is the absence of function. One has the freedom of endless possibilities, where there is no correct answer, only comparative choices each with their own merit. 

“I am thoroughly enjoying ‘making art’, and it gives me even greater pleasure when others enjoy my work as well!”

Leaving watercolor behind she continued her training and began working primarily in pastel and most recently in oil. She hopes to continue to grow and challenge her tendency toward pure realism. 
Judy is a member of the Apple Pie Painters, Society of Bluffton Artists, and the Art League of Hilton Head. Her work is also exhibited at the Maye River Gallery in Old Town Bluffton.
