Brendan and I had the privilege of visiting Judy Kendall's home studio in Benicia, CA. She's an upholsterer with a compelling collection of European romantic and religious figures, as well as little pieces of nature and nurture that tumble through time and hands into our lives.
Much thanks to Olga for introducing us.

Here are some things that stood out to me, plus photos of Judy & her work: Judy Kendall in home studio, Benicia
