The Royal

Australian artist Jud Keresztesi has been painting since she was 14 years old and professionally for 18 years. Her trademark specialisation is palette knife work, using a brush on parts of the canvas.

Many of Jud's paintings have another strong trademark in genuine English bronze powder,

Jud studied art and design at Swinburne Technology. She also completed a diploma of Interior Design at RMIT.

Her inspiration comes from many sources including bush land, her love for the beach, the power of the water and how it makes her feel. Jud's paintings are often reference emotion, personal stories of family, love and other life experiences. In 2015 Jud was a finalist in the Sunshine Coast Art Prize at the Caloundra Regional Art Gallery judged by Chris Sanes, Director of the Queensland National Art Gallery.
