Judy Sprague
"Whittlin' a Walkin' Stick" received Best of Show Pastel and sold at
Main Street Gallery, Brighton, Colorado
October 2024
I am honored that my art has earned numerous awards and has been juried into
over 79 national exhibitions throughout the United States. I am
fortunate to have been a member of the Pastel Society of Colorado
since 1996 and have earned the status of
Master Signature Member.
There is no better feeling than to experience the idea that someone loves my work enough
to hang it in their home... eternal thanks to everyone who has!
