Jude Stapleton is an artist and a Director of The Geoffrey Stapleton Gallery, Prospect. After moving to Adelaide in her teens and working in fashion design she moved to Melbourne, designing and selling clothes at various weekend markets.  She also studied theatre at Melbourne’s National Theatre and later at East Sydney Tech and worked in film and television.  The art was kept alive with a move to Sydney, returning to painting and designing clothes for a stall at the Paddington Markets.  Her enduring love and fascination with pop culture as singer/songwriter with punk pop band “Sheer Fun” is apparent in her approach to painting and musical themes appear regularly in her work. In the early 90’s after spending several months in Europe and London she started painting on canvas and exhibiting in group shows.  A move back to Adelaide in 2000 planted the seed for The Geoffrey Stapleton Gallery which was opened in 2011 and provides a constant creative hub for art and artists.
