Artist, Judith Moffatt's Fun & Colorful Studio
Thank you to Judith for sharing her studio. She lives on a quiet street overlooking the Charles River with lots of greenery and wildlife in her view. It is a very peaceful place to work and enjoys her studio/home with her husband, Tabby cat & Airedale terrier.
Judith is the illustrator of over 50 books for young children. By using cut paper artwork, she creates a 3 dimensional look using bold colors. You will also see her Tabby cat featured in many of her books, below in the 12 Days of Christmas.
Some of her work is from inspiration right out her window!
These little guys were featured in one of her books, here with a framed original.
Judith shared with me her latest project, after two successful Mandala coloring books, she creates "Garden To Go" a traveling coloring book. You can purchase these on her Etsy site (link below) and locally at TC Scoops. These are really for all ages, I've used them (yes I love coloring), as well as my 10 & 12 yr old.
Judith is here working on a winter Mandala design.
Judith & her husband (an digital artist) work together on some projects including this animal series for Ranger Rick Jr Magazine.
Color Envy!
In the studio Judith makes the most of her wall space, with books of resources & inspiration.
Judith Loves Mickey!

Growing Muses, Handmade Scarves & More
Growing Muses is a creature inspired accessory/clothing line, Catherine Byrne had started from the inspiration of her children. Her daughter wouldn't wear anything without a creature on it, so Catherine created them. Many designs later, she is prepping for this fall/winter season.
Catherine studied at the Parsons School of Design and began her career in the garment industry working for various fashion designers before going out on her own. She also designed & made many wedding dresses.
Here you see the beginning stages of her critter scarves. A template is made for each

Catherine is working on a new design this year of a husky. Much time and care goes into the making of each scarf.
