Curator Judy Wukitsch most often works in metals, vitreous enamels, and found objects on a small scale. Frequently as body-wear, her creative practice is driven by socio/political events as contextual framework for personal catharsis and critical awareness.  Her work has been included in numerous exhibitions in museums, universities and galleries in the northeast and a few collections. As a retired co-founder and Director of the Pierro Gallery, Judy continues work as an independent curator, arts consultant, juror/panelist, and serves on numerous arts organization boards. Judy lives and maintains her studio in Hoboken, NJ.
