Step out of ordinary reality and spend some time in a magical make believe realm. A place of beauty. A world where you can become whoever you choose to be.
You want to but…. you just need a little help to get there. I am here to stimulate, nurture and then champion wild imagining in all who choose to skip along with me down the path of creative imagining.
Vision
To entice you into my creative world by sharing the beauty and peace that happens when you dream and then manifest that world for yourself. There will be fancy hats, magical creatures, garden lore and stories told.
Mission
To be a faerie godmother who aides you in becoming the magic behind the curtain in your own life.
My Story
At an early age Judith started to seek ways to create beauty. Mud pies, tree houses, castles in the sand, clothing for my cat, Halloween costumes and crazy hats. She won a blue ribbon in 1st grade for an eraser drawing of a bird and that was all the encouragement she needed to go forward. Creating gives her that calm peaceful feeling that is so important to her life. The outer world just simply disappears and she is in her personal heaven. Like a dragon to air and a mermaid to water.
The middle daughter in a family of “makers”. She grew up on an apiary in the lovely northern mountains of Wyoming. Free to wander, riding horses bareback, making forts and finding adventures on her bike.
As an adult she taught special education students for awhile. However, after a powerful series of dreams she was encouraged to follow her heart into the art world. She started a small business called Leopard’s Leap which is named after the first animal in her dreams. She moved into a small attic apartment and joined a local art community called Harwood Art Center in Albuquerque, NM. She thrived by being surrounded by like minded artists and her creativity was nurtured there. She then toured locally and nationally doing Art Shows, Festivals and Sci-Fi Conventions for many years.
Then one lovely summer day in 2000 Suzanne Paquette from Cirque du Soleil called Judith and asked if she wanted to be a part of their circus. She happily agreed and began working for CDS “clowns” for 18 years. She supplied their worldwide retail market with fantastic wearable masks developed from their shows. She designed and produced over 55 unique wearable masks and shipped them all over the world. Not bad for a little girl from Wyoming who was told she would never make money as an artist.
She retired from Cirque du Soleil in 2018. She now has an Etsy site and a store in New Orleans that she supplies. She also has created for the Doge’s Ball in Venice , Italy. Dolce and Gabbana had her create 450 pieces for their party in Venice, Italy. Who knows who will call next. Right?
