Artist: Judy Kreiger

Project Title: In The Meadow

Location: Jackson and Nichols

Statement: Nature is a source of inspiration for me. Nearly the first half of my life was spent on the family farm. While there, I spent time driving tractor, usually working the ground in preparation for planting. Many hours were spent driving back and forth from one end of the field to the other. It was hard not to be bored. But the work had to be done and the way I entertained myself was to look at the trees, weeds, other plants and sun rising in the sky. This experience with nature has its way into my artwork.
