If you are interested in buying or commissioning a piece, please contact Judith for information about pricing and other important details.
A friend of mine, Sharon Sargent, asked me to create some pieces for a show that was to be exhibited in September of 2018, on the theme of "Wisdom." I had a few ideas in my mind, but I was unable to complete the pieces on time. Nevertheless, the ideas remained in my mind, and I couldn't get any other studio work done until I completed these pieces. They were completed far too late to be included in the show, and yet, I am happy with how they turned out and hope that one day someone will get to enjoy them.
I used printouts of digital drawings that were originally created in Adobe Illustrator, digital photos from a recent trip to Kananaskis Village, layers of pencil crayon drawings on tracing paper, pencil crayon on photo paper, and acrylic on watercolour paper to complete these pieces.

"Wisdom Sets Up Her Seven Pillars" |
"You that are Simple, Turn Here" |
"Do Him No Harm!" |
"Give Her the Child" |
The young man, Solomon, has just been made King of Israel, and has no experience with giving sentence or settling judgements. However, he is close to God, and has prayed for wisdom.
Two women have come to him for judgement - they had each given birth some time recently - so recently that neither child yet had any distinguishing features. One of the mothers accidentally smothered her baby in the night, and Solomon must determine which of the women is the mother of the child who is still alive.
It seems cruel when he says, "As it cannot be determined who is the true mother of the child, let them both have him - let him be cut in half." Upon hearing this, one of the women says, "Let it be so. Let both children be dead, and we will again be equal." But the child's real mother exclaims, "No! Let the child live - she may have him." From tihis, Solomon discerned who the child's real mother was, and he gave the child to her.
