Judith Currie was born in Newcastle and has been a keen painter from an early age.   She was formally trained at Newcastle College of Art and Industrial Design and studied art appreciation at St Mandé, Paris.   After qualification she worked in a commercial design studio on Tyneside.

Judith married a Scot and has spent most of her life in the Borders, where she was a founder member and tutor of the North Northumberland Art Society.

Over the years she has had regular exhibitions in Scotland and England and commissions of her work have been sent to all corners of the world.   Every summer she continues to be artist in residence at Paxton House, a Country House and Art Gallery, on the river Tweed in Berwickshire.

In 2003 together with her family she moved to live on the Isle of Skye and opened a small gallery in Kyle of Lochalsh, "The Kyle Art Market".
