Judi Paul
Judi creates bears and other critters under the business name
'Luxembears.'
Residing in Luxemburg Wisconsin, this mother of three and dairy farmer’s wife is also a registered nurse and avid ballroom dancer.
Art is not new to Judi as she has been drawing and painting since early childhood. She has found that designing, making, and just plain hugging bears to be a huge stress reducer.
Judi works with a variety of mediums including ink and graphite illustrations, acrylic and water color paints, and airbrushing. She went to school in 1983 to learn airbrush painting and is certified in 'airbrush rendering' and 'graphic illustration.'
“ I have found airbrushing to be a wonderful way to really add lots of intimate detail to my bears. Airbrushing really bring them to life.”
Judi has received numerous awards and nominations including 2
Ace Awards, 5 Golden Teddy Nominations and 2 Toby Nominations. As well in 2005
she won First Place in the Steiff Design Competition.
