“See the USA,” a
three-dimensional stitched car exhibited in the Pfaff Art Embroidery exhibition
in 2009 will be a featured piece when the show, with the theme “Travel”, opens
at the Bibliotheque FORNEY in Paris, France. Selected by the mayor of Paris for
the event publicity, the piece is featured on the invitations and the posters as
well as on a large banner that will grace the front of the museum building. 440
large posters, each 4.5’ x 3’, will be placed in glass cases in bus shelters
throughout Paris for two weeks, beginning April 21. The exhibition, “Art
Embroidery: Landscape/Let us travel” will be March 9 through June 19, 2010, at
Bibliotheque FORNEY, HOTEL de SENS, 1 rue du Figuier, 75004 Paris.
“Steeped in Art,” a
three-dimensional stitched teapot with images of well-known figures from
paintings shown drinking tea, was juried into the Fiberart International 2010 in
Pittsburgh PA. The exhibition will open April 15 at the Pittsburgh Center for
the Arts and at the Society for Contemporary Craft, divided between the two

The same teapot will be the

Judith R. Shamp
TO: art creators,
I am teaching an adult art camp at the Jung Center in June and want to let
you know. I will be team teaching with Lisa Qualls (we did this successfully
last summer in her studio). We're hoping to reach a larger audience with our
personalized demonstration and teaching processes. Some new techniques will
include printing with gelatin plate and making handmade paper to use in finished
projects. We're hoping to squeeze in one mini fieldtrip to the MFA or CAMH.

I have the honor of being in three group exhibitions this
Spring.
I was invited to be part of "Reigniting the Spirit of
Sisterhood" at Prairie View A & M, Prairie View, TX in the 4th Floor Art
Gallery of the John B. Coleman Library showing March 11 through May 1,
2009.
"Tradition - Soul - Art - Fiber" at Archway Gallery, 2305 Dunlavy, Houston,
will be showing from March 21-April, 2009. This exhibition of the Houston
Ara Fiber Artist was juried by Debra Kendrick.
"Starstruck", an exhibit of the Mixed-Media Artist's
group is showing at Hollywood Frame Gallery, 2427 Bissonnet, until March
14th.
Three mixed media collages were juried into the member show of the Jung
Center, summer 2008. And a group showing at the Hollywood Gallery in
Houston. She has just completed a six piece liturgical commission for St.
Stephen's Episcopal Church. And she was invited to do an installation of her
work at Pines Presbyterian Church.
Her passion for art will be shared with a young audience as she has just
accepted a teaching position at a small private school in Houston.
