Artist Judie Bomberger age 65, has had a creative drive since she was young. During family trips to the beach in the 1970’s she had her four sons collecting driftwood which she then embellished and sold.  It wasn't however until she reached the age of 50 that she was fully able realize her artistic talents.  Attempting to relax and enjoy an early retirement from a successful Real Estate career, she found herself embarking on a new adventure as a full time artist. Using metal collected from a scrap yard and a borrowed torch she began bringing to life the designs that had been percolating for years- Dancing cats, frolicking nudes, mermaids with wings, playful dogs, and mugs with attitude- the resonating theme is strong- joyful, whimsical and just for the fun of it. In fact, the most common comment we hear regarding her work is "This artwork just makes me smile."
