continue the family tradition of clay sculpting by observing

by the passion and ambition that her sister, Marilyn Ray-Lewis,
showed towards working with clay, and the assistance that
she gave to her. Judy hand coils pottery, vases, and storytellers
using the methods of her ancestors. She only uses natural pigments
for clay and paints. Judy has developed a style of her own.

traditional designs and colors. As with the entire family the colors
have a crisp but soft pastel look to them. Judy is related to the
following artists: Kathy Lewis (mother), Carolyn Concho Lewis (sister),
and Sharon Lewis (sister).
