Judy Jones moved to Castlemaine from Melbourne with her partner Juergen, to establish The Yellow House Bed and Breakfast and Studio/Gallery. The aim was to integrate contemporary art and accommodation and to provide a studio space for her art practice that would be open to guests and on occasions, the wider public.

Judy is painter and printmaker. She has studied art in the U.K. (Loughborough University) and in France (Paris-American Academy) She gained a Master of Fine Art (2009) and Batchelor of Art (Fine Art) (1996) from RMIT in Melbourne. She has exhibited overseas as well as In Melbourne and Central Victoria over a period of 15 years, participating in more than 20 group and solo shows.
