Episode 1
Judy is regarded within our community as a strong advocate for disadvantaged groups, and has been a consistent presence working towards the empowerment of local Aboriginal people. She has been a tremendous support for her family as well as being a Mum to her son Julian.
Presently, she keeps busy as a local artist and is a board member of the Halls Creek Yarliyil Art Centre. Judy recognises that it is an exciting time for Aboriginal Art and Aboriginal Artists as there is a surge in private businesses and the rising of Aboriginal Artists in the commercial industry.
