Now through mid-February, Bainbridge Arts & Crafts will pay tribute to Bainbridge Island jewelry artist Joan Judge with a special display dedicated to her work.

Judge passed away on Oct. 15, 2014.

The artist was born on February 15, 1960 in Limestone, Maine.

After traveling around the country with her father, a United States Air Force officer, Judge’s family settled in Yuba City, California.

She attended San Francisco State University and became an accountant, but spent much of her spare time knitting and quilting. After being diagnosed with breast cancer, she left her position as Director of Finance at Avalara and turned her artistic talents to jewelry making.

BAC has shown Judge’s jewelry since 2012. They now invite the community to stop in to the gallery to experience this special display of the artist’s work.

BAC is located at 151 Winslow Way East. Visit www.bacart.org for more information about this and other upcoming exhibitions.
