Highland County Artist Judy Skeen's Work Is On Display At The Highland Library
Skeen grew up on a farm, and you can see the influence of rural life in her paintings by Elaine Brown Monterey, Va Judy Skeen's paintings, drawings, and collages reveal the divine spark in the everyday lives of creatures that she encounters on her Highland County, Virginia, farm - the sheep, blue jays, owls, foxes, deer and other animals. Her familiars are sometimes known to her by name - a favorite ewe named Ruthie, for example. Judy's work speaks of a deep reverence for nature, life lived close to the earth, and a spiritual connection with daily and seasonal miracles
