Sussex artist Jude Evans left school at 16 with a bad attitude and no qualifications. After some dead-end jobs and living on the dole, she decided to make something of herself by leaving Worthing to study for a degree in Art History, which led to a job at London's National Gallery. She then completed a foundation year at Chelsea College of Art and went on to have a career in magazine publishing. Now 66, Jude feels the time is right to present her creative work to the public and she is having her first solo exhibition this summer.
