Not long ago, Judy Blake discovered something unexpected — that art could open an entirely new world. Exploring watercolor and other media under the guidance of beloved teacher Erna Van Dyke, Judy found what so many of us quietly hope for: the freedom that comes with true self-expression. As a retired elementary teacher, she spent decades nurturing inspiration in others. Now, it's her turn. Watercolor became her natural, joyful transition into retirement — a place where playing, learning, and creating are all the same thing. Judy's work is a reflection of that discovery, and the happiness it continues to bring.
