Born and raised on the East Coast, Judy moved to Wisconsin as a teacher on the Menominee Reservation in the 60’s, a connection she continues to cherish. She has been the visiting artist for the Menominee Tribal Daycare and has worked with the Family Center of the Stockbridge-Munsee Tribe to encourage young people and elders to explore the world of drawing and watercolor.

Gosz began her artistic exploration with pencil sketches and pen and ink drawings, including publishing an annual calendar and postcards, doing album covers, illustrating small chapbooks and creating original graphic works.

Her murals in oil are in the waiting room at the Stockbridge-Munsee Health Center and at U.W. Plattville. Most recently she helped 540 students of Oconto Falls Elementary School, Oconto Falls, WI to create a permanent mural about respect for their cafeteria.

Since 1977, she has been involved with the exploration of watercolors, painting ‘en plein aire’ as well as in the studio, and producing both realistic and abstract works. “My paintings are reflections of the beauty which surrounds me here in the North Country . . . the glorious colors of sunrises and sunsets . . . the refraction and translucence of water: rivers, lakes, clouds, snow, ice, rain and puddles. It’s a fascination to fill a lifetime!”
