Anderson Ranch Workshop with Judy Glantzman

Shelley Futch Anderson at the Anderson Ranch

This summer I received a scholarship to study at the Anderson Ranch in Snowmass, Colorado.  I had applied in February, and was very honored to receive this scholarship, as I had always admired the workshops and classes available at the ranch, but felt they were out of reach for me.

The workshop was called "Painting from your Imagination", but our instructor, Judy, felt she should change the name of the workshop to finding your artistic voice.  Judy set up an environment that enabled the group to experiment, play and push ourselves to find unique styles and methods we can incorporate into our work going forward.

Judy is represented by the Betty Cunningham Gallery in New York, and her work is really experimental, and very personal.  I don't wish to put a label on it, but her work has been described as abstract expressionism.  She has the ability to find the figure in the materials she uses.  She was very inspiring, and I will miss her delightful laugh.

Thank you Judy...
