About the Artist

Judith’s art titled “Hidden Wonders” (2017) is reflective of her fascination with the intricacies of shape and color found beneath the ocean’s currents. By magnifying these unique elements of nature on canvas, she captures the viewer’s awareness and appreciation of these spectacular wonders.

Judith developed her career as an artist in Manhattan for 10 years, beginning with earning a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the School of Visual Arts with a specialization in painting and installation.

Judith has been the Director of Education for the Molluscan Science Foundation since 2015. The Maryland-based, non-profit is committed to the study of mollusks and the preservation of coral reefs. Their team has engaged in extensive research throughout Thailand, Australia, Indonesia, the Florida Keys, Cayman Islands, and more. Judith has led the creation and distribution of educational materials to school-aged children all over the world. By introducing seashells to children, her hope is that they will grow to love and value our oceans and help protect them.

Through these experiences, Judith has become a passionate educator dedicated to introducing children to art, gardening, and sustainability as natural forms of creative expression. By weaving creativity with the wonder of the natural world, she developed Earth Art, a curriculum taught at the Goldsmith Early Childhood Center in Baltimore, Maryland.

Earth Art fuses art and the natural world as an essential learning tool.
