When asked about her hobbies she replied, "I'm a Grandmother." The photographs of family and drawings by her grandchildren scattered about her house attest to this fact.

Judy and Ralph Leiviska with grandchildren

Judy and her husband Ralph teach classes of English as a second language. They have taught students from China, Nepal, India and Columbia. Students often show their gratitude with gifts from their native land.

Gifts from students

When Judy was accepted into John Herron School of Art, she received the Mary Milliken Scholarship. Sometime later a friend told her of an elderly lady who needed an occasional companion and wondered if Judy would be interested in the position. Judy agreed and the lady turned out to be the donor of the scholarship she had received. She feels very blessed to have been able to meet this generous lady and to thank her in person.

Judy was part of the Travel Honors Program with John Herron School of Art. This allowed her to spend six weeks in Italy and three weeks in Ireland. While in Ireland, Judy visited the seashore and was inspired to create this collage of torn paper and watercolor.
