Your art speaks to me like no other. I would be so pleased to be able to do a workshop with you. Is that possible? Your work on Pinterest was the first I had seen. I have looked at as much of your work as possible.

Dear Judy:
Don’t know if you remember me, but I am Ken Mitchell’s widow. Ken worked at AP Parts
years ago with your Father before he died. Ken has been gone for 6 years. Gayle Olson
emailed me about visiting your brother and sister-in-law recently in St. Cloud. She mentioned
seeing your art in John & Nancy’s home while visiting. Told her of our relationship and how
much I miss your Mother. Rita was a special woman and sure you miss her. Now that you
are living in your parents home, sure it brings back many good memories. Just wanted to
“touch” bases with you.
Sincerely,
Margaret Mitchell

Hi Judith! I found your artwork on Pintrest and enjoy it so much I had to come and find your website. My maiden name is Bergerson. There aren’t too many of us so I’m curious? I see you are from Minnesota. My family is also. Joni Bergerson Anderson

Humm we maybe related! There aren’t many Bergerson families out there. I have several family members who live in the Duluth area. In fact I was born in Duluth. I believe one of my Great Uncles settled in Two Harbors. I will have to go back and look at some of our family history. I’d love to hear from you and your family!

I have been enamored with your artistic style for years and am interested in reinventing my artist journey by taking one of your workshops. I am a prolific North Iowa realism muralist, whose husband just passed away in June 2018. I teach private art lessons in my studio, but my goal has always been to find my own direction, not just be a commission artist. Time for me to learn more!
