Although she won a National Scholastic Art Awards competition and chose to attend the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Judy Björling thereafter let other interests demand her full attention. She later received an MBA from Northwestern University. She only began to paint in earnest again after the owner of an early Björling watercolor located her and asked, “So why aren’t you painting?”

She began to paint again and then to study sculpture in 1993.

Since that time, her watercolors, drawings, collages, and sculptures have appeared in numerous exhibits. Her artwork is owned by private and corporate collectors here and abroad. She has taught painting and sculpture to students both privately and through various organizations.

After her move to Woodinville, WA, in 2022, she received an award for her sculpture in 2023 in Edmonds; won a purchase award for a painting in the juried 2023 Collective Visions Gallery exhibit; won an award in Federal Way, WA; and has exhibited in Kirkland, Stanwood, Port Townsend, Tieton, Kenmore, Lake Forest Park, and Lynwood. She is active in the Northwest Collage Society and is an exhibiting artist with the Woodinville Arts Alliance. She continues to exhibit her work both nationally and online.
