J udy married lifelong friend and widower Jeff Harrell in 2009, and the couple moved to Spokane, Washington. “Jeff encouraged me to take a few art lessons to sharpen up my art skills,” Judy said, adding that Jeff has always been supportive of her re-entry into the art world. She took classes from local Idaho artists Joe Kronenberg of Spirit Lake and Michael Dudash of Post Falls. “You learn what you want from other artists,” Judy says of the two men, whom she admires. “You just have to go slowly and enjoy the process.” 22 ART CHOWDER MAGAZINE
