“Hi I’m Judy Maynard and I work with Alcohol inks now. In the past I have owned three galleries and had a stained glass studio and taught workshops in many types of mediums. I tested very high with lead toxicity from glass work so I was forced to quit that business. I won many awards and participated in many local art installations and fundraisers as well so I have art in my blood and can’t seem to get away from it, so here I am reinventing myself with a new medium. I have worked with Alcohol Ink about two years and have gone down the Rabbit hole with them. Love to be a part of more shows, virtual or otherwise. Thanks” – Judy

I painted Poppy, the first time I had painted an animal. It seems to have flipped a switch!” – Susan Robinson

“During Covid I took my daughter’s three illustrated journals of our one-year trip around the world and I decided to clean up the prose, add some photos and publish it. The book is 390 pages and has 1000 illustrations and photographs. It is a safe journey for armchair travelers. As of last month, the eBook is on Amazon and the hardcopy should be out in March. Thank you for considering it for your Virtual Gallery.” Fond Regards, – Holly Smirl
