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.
