Judy's art career began in the
1980's with painting. Love of color brought her to stained glass
that soon became her second passion, kaleidoscopes being the focus.
Next, fusing glass in a microwave kiln from scraps led to wire wrap
as a medium to use the glass in jewelry designs. Since 1993 wire
art has consumed a good portion of her time. In 2000 Judy began
classes at William Holland taking numerous classes and in 2001 began
lampwork classes. Since that time she has taken several workshops
and courses from many instructors. Glass Beads has become her focus!
Continuing education in the jewelry arts brings both classic design
and modern innovative wire art designs to Judy's work. Judy has
been producing and selling at art galleries and craft festivals
throughout the Southeast since 1987. She has her own store, The
Frog and Dragon, in Brasstown, NC.
