Judy Gardner's artistic work comments wryly on human nature. Through the use of metaphor, layered imagery and a slightly twisted sense of humor, she pokes fun at herself and ponders the quirks of her friends, family and the world at large. Nicki Alden, of Ink Lounge, coined the phrase "Whimsical and Ethereal" to describe Judy's work and the phrase has stuck. Although she is primarily a printmaker, Judy works in a variety of media and has also done many large scale installations and public commission pieces.
