COMPLETION OF THE SPIRITS
SERIES - Judi has recently
completed her Spirits series of 4. The 4 collages took 5 years to complete
and have been
acquired by collectors world-wide.
There will be an
preview showing (by invitation only)of the last in the series entitled
"Spirits of the Whale"
on March 29th '08 7p.m. at
Riverway Gallery
in Courtenay, Vancouver Island. The artist will be in attendance. At
8pm
Earth Hour will be
celebrated at the gallery by
having a candlelit

for one hour - to help create an awareness
of our impact
on climate change.
The following
weekend the painting can be viewed at the Courtenay Home show in the Crawford
Studios booth
This will be the
last show for a few years. Judi plans to change directions slightly and is
excited about delving into the world of portraiture.
She plans on
creating a large body of new work and then having a show after a few years.
