Judy started her artistic endeavors as a knitter and handspinner. She took a glass course in order to learn how to make buttons for her sweaters, and was hooked. Many of her stylized fused glass dishes are made with dichroic glass inclusions reminiscent of embroidery stitches. The inspiration comes from old needle art books Judy found at the League of New Hampshire Crafts headquarters. The patternwork is hand-drawn, acid-etched, and shimmers and looks like silk.

Judy is a juried member of the New Hampshire League of Craftsmen and a three time winner of the League’s Stevens Glass Award. This year she will be exhibiting at Paradise City in Northampton, MA over Memorial Day weekend. She lives in Manchester, NH where she teaches at the Currier Museum Art Center and serves as one of the ministers at the First Congregational Church.
