Tell us about your artwork.
I’m Judy Butler and I create whimsical fused glass. It frequently includes animals in whimsical situations.
Describe how art is important to society.
Art is the essence of a society. Without Art there can be no society. It helps us understand who we are and provides context.
How would you describe yourself as an artist?
I am a full-time artist. My primary medium is fused glass, but I also love painting on glass with enamels- which is then fused into the glass. Working with glass is my passion.
Has your style changed over time?
Initially I created plates and more functional items, however I have gravitated towards creating images with animals. When I look at my early work, I am also aware that it has become more refined.
Describe your dream project.
I would love to do more art for hospitals. I imagine people being able to smile when they see my work – even when they are in a challenging situation.
What superpower would you have and why?
I do have a superpower – it is being able to make people smile when they see my fused glass.
