As with many artist who specialize in nature scenes and/or products in their art, Judy (Greyfeather) Sells came to her art through
a love of nature and being raised and growing up throughout the U.S. Much of her youth was spent living next to one of Mobile, Alabama's
slow-flowing rivers on the gulf coast; Later traveling several times across the lower 48 states, parts of Canada and Central America.
Her travels brought her into contact with various cultures and extensive varieties and uses of natural products and led to an early
career in photography. As her innovative uses of natural products: nuts, seeds, feathers, gourds,grasses, leaves, stones, etc. etc.
grew and were combined with man-made objects, she found that friends, acquaintances, and even strangers liked and desired these products
of her heart and talent. Along the way, coincidental multiple incidences with feathers, particularly grey ones, earned her the 'craft'name
of GreyFeather. So it was, that a child of her environment, drawn to all things natural was also drawn to the mountains and foothills
of the Great Smoky Mts. where she resides and produces her art today, along with her gardens of organic foods, gourds and wild-gathered
inclusions for her art pieces.
Judy is a member of the American Gourd society, Upsilon Chapter of the Tennessee Gourd society, the
Art Guild of the Smoky Mountains and TACA the Tennessee Art and Crafters Assoc.
