Judith constantly researches and seeks new and different ways to impart information to her students and colleagues, and to enhance her artistic development.  She teaches that the making of art and the ability to teach art depends on a continuous desire to explore and to know more.  She also teaches to always be constructive, sympathetic, and clear in critiquing student work, and always to be mindful of each student’s unique and individual responses to solving particular studio problems.  The installation, Memoir of an Assimilated Family, revealed Judith’s creation of meaningful art that reflects the realities of life.  Her work deals with memory and narration, concerns of hers that perhaps developed in her youth when she read historical novels about girls in the 18th century and imagined herself there.

John Gardner captured Judith’s artistic aesthetic when he wrote: “An artist is someone who believes in art, who believes that art reflects something which is real in life, who tries to see and reveal to others what life is in his own time by making it art.”
