Judy Hoberg

Stoneware Critters

Inspired by wildlife…

The artist delights in sitting for hours watching birds and wild animals. This deep understanding of form is beautifully interpreted In her whimsical caricatures, as she celebrates this fascinating connection between all living things.

Judy is a founding member of Studios on High Gallery, with numerous patrons collecting her works, building their menageries. For more than 25 years, the artist's whimsical critters have brought joy and amusement to all ages."I love the moment in the creative process when the sculpture becomes alive, as if it just shifted to see me better. I feel as if I've just come upon an animal in the act of being its delightful self!"

The warm color and texture of the high fired stoneware is not only beautiful, but allows for both indoor and outdoor display. In addition to her animal sculptures, the artist creates bird baths and outdoor benches. Her works have been exhibited at numerous shows and galleries throughout the Midwest
