How I Went From the Studio to Carmel
(And You Too Can Exhibit in Galleries)
Take the Next Step Workshop with Judy Knox
Thursday September 5, 2019
6PM-8PM
$45 SAL Members / $50 Non-Members
This workshop will encompass how to get into galleries as an artist. All materials are provided.
Sign-Up at www.square.com/store/stocktonartleague
In 2008 Judy Knott went on an art studio tour in Elk Grove California where she was living at the time. A friend of her husband had just given her some oil paints and a small easel. At the last tour stop she met Kate Anderson whose artwork she admired and who had decided to start teaching art again. She jumped at the chance to take lessons. “Thank goodness that my first experience learning how to paint was from someone who knew how to bring out the best in me,” she said.
Judy has gone on to receive her Master Artist certification and has shown her work at Crocker Art Museum, Marin Museum of Contemporary Art and the California State Fair. She has won many awards in both local, national and international art shows.
When asked what inspires her, she responds “There are so many things that inspire me it’s hard to list them all. What I can say is this…colors and shadows intrigue me as do old structures and interesting shapes. I love animals, so they do pop into my artwork as well. Travel also gives me ideas from just being around other people and cultures.”
Recently she has been painting more abstractly although staying true to her representational roots. Thus, her abstracts always have an element of realism in them. Her artwork has been called painterly, inventive, fun and colorful, with a little wit thrown in on the side. “I want to have fun creating my art and for those who see it to have fun as well. I hope viewers will do the same thing I do when I finish a painting—smile.”
Visit Judy’s website at http://knottjustart.com to view more of her artwork.

Contact Paula Sheil
Tuleburg Press Facebook
Tuleburg Press is working to build literacy and writing confidence for all ages through book publishing, one-on-one mentoring, community outreach, and writing workshops.
Those activities occur at THE WRITE PLACE, a downtown Stockton creative writing and book arts center. Modeled after 826 Valencia in San Francisco, 916 Ink in Sacramento, and the San Francisco Center for the Book, THE WRITE PLACE teaches writing, bookbinding, and letterpress printing on vintage presses.
We see the center as a walking-distance friendly spot for students enrolled in the many downtown town schools, but it will offer creative writing and book arts workshops for writers of all ages.
Writing groups and book clubs will be able to use the space in the evenings. On weekends THE WRITE PLACE will host author readings and artists who teach paper making, book binding, and paper crafts of many kinds.
