Judy Krassowski, M.Ed. is an innovative artist and writer who makes ends meet through traditional stereotypical women’s jobs (as no one will hire me otherwise; if you will, please contact me jetiwalker1@gmail.com) and keeps herself happy through creative ventures like making stuff, helping others make stuff, talking about making stuff and then making more stuff. I’m done with my “duty” as a teacher and am thoroughly occupied with looking, watching, observing, ‘cause man, I just don’t have that much time left, you know? And the time I do have, I’ve got to use it well, and there’s an awful lot to see. Life is short. Hold our heads up and know who we are.
Current works include focusing on topics and working them to death through a variety of media from graphite, colored pencils, watercolor, acrylics through oils and pastels and printmaking. This gives me the freedom that I had from teaching artist days to explore media as well as the luxury of emotional explosion. Some pieces become a response to the world, but my reactive work is coming out in words more than visuals lately.
My first book is: The Art Room at The End of The Day. It is a compilation of thoughts from my daily journal at the end of my class days. Its purpose was to work through the process. I am nothing if not about the process. There will be more to come.
A more thoughtful intent-driven book is coming in September - My Mother Was a Sodality Queen - an actual true story.
