Judy is a self taught artist for the most part. "I've been fortunate enough to meet other artists who have helped me along and inspired me in the process. I've been sculpting for around 12 yrs...I've lost track, it's been such an enjoyable part of my life. I started late in life and encourage others, no matter their age or limitations to try as well, it's never too late".
She lives in central California and works out of a small studio in her home. "It allows me to create sometimes at very odd hours, working when inspiration strikes, and, sometimes it strikes in the wee hours of the morning.
My mind rarely stops to rest when it comes to my work".
"I've been known to say that my creations sometimes speak to me and refuse to co operate until I follow their direction. I have regrets for letting a few of them go, but, I truly feel blessed that so many people really love my hearts work, and that's what it is. It comes from my heart".
Judy sculpts in a Fimo blend that She uses for its strength and ease of use. "I absolutely love using antique textiles and vintage, hard to find settings to display my work. Its a thrill to find treasures from the past in local antique and junque shops. My other pleasures are spending time with my grand children and quiet evenings at home".
