"Mended World is Judy Martin's third solo exhibition at the Thunder Bay Art Gallery. In 2004, the Gallery worked with the artist to organize My Hand Sings Red and in 1991, I Will Remember You Until I Die. Though she has lived on Manitoulin Island for the last twenty years, Judy was born in Fort Frances and lived a good part of her life in Kenora, so we embrace her as an artist from Northwestern Ontario. Those who saw Judy's previous exhibiitons at the Gallery will be surprised at the developement of her work over the last nine years. On behalf of the Board of Directors and staff of the thunder Bay Art Gallery, I extend congratulations to her on the monumental achievement that is represented by this exhibition. "

Now, with this show up, my degree finished, my dad finally living in Little Current, and my studio collapsed into a bedroom at home - I feel that I am on an edge of something new.
It feels open. I don't know what will come next, but something will.

from wee little studios come monumental, formidable creations. (not that you don't already have a few of those.) look forward to what's around the turn.
Wow, big congrats Judy, the work looks fabulous and so does the catalogue. It will be exciting to see where this new space leads you.
How exciting on so many levels! And to feel something new coming :) - a thrill!
Settle into your stitch, continue to study, journal and share with each of us. Be in tune with the landscape, textures and colour of your world, and your "new" will reveal itself soon. Take time for family, rest and stay in touch with us. You are a very important part of each of our lives. Blessings!
