Building on 25 years experience as a fiber artist, sculptor, costumer for modern dance and bridge design team member; Judy creates art that is the exciting and improbable marriage of cold industrial materials and the sensuality of nature. Judy utilizes industrial materials, many of which are found, recycled, or salvaged, in an ongoing effort to reveal beauty in unlikely places and stretch conventional notions of what constitutes art.

“The broad range of my work is clearly unified by a sensibility that asserts the power of an artist to create beauty from anything, and convey that simple but vital truth to an audience. By manipulating materials in ways and for contexts for which they were never intended, whether mangling the precise configuration of a plastic grid or turning a demure thrift shop dress into a cotton-and-steel amalgamation, I embrace creative transformation and a form of subversion that is alluring, whimsical and nourishing to the imagination.”
