==Founder William Lees Judson==
William Lees Judson was born in 1842 in Manchester, England, and moved to the United States with his parents when he was ten years old. After serving four years with the Illinois volunteers during the American Civil War,〔 Judson studied art in New York and Paris. He settled in London, Ontario, where he became a successful portrait painter and art teacher.〔 He moved to Chicago in 1890 but, suffering from failing health, he moved to Los Angeles in 1893.〔 He settled on the banks of the Arroyo Seco in the Garvanza section of Los Angeles and became part of an influential scene of artists in the Arroyo. A 1937 radio program noted that it was “love at first sight” when Judson saw the Arroyo Seco, and the area became his home for the rest of his life.〔 Soon after his arrival, Judson was at the forefront of the Arroyo Guild of Craftsmen, a group of artists, sculptors and architects who fueled Southern California’s Arts and Crafts Movement. The beauty of the area stirred Judson to switch from portrait painting to landscapes,〔 and his work attracted such favorable attention that in 1896 he was offered a professorship in drawing and painting at the University of Southern California. In the late 1890s, he founded the Los Angeles College of Fine Arts at his home in Garvanza (the present location of Judson Studios). He died at his home in the studio building in October 1928.〔
