Textile artist Jean M.
Judd of Cushing, Wisconsin was one of 51 artists and artisans selected for
inclusion in Profiles in Passion, Volume One: Artists & Artisans released in March of 2014 by freelance writer, Buz Swerkstrom.
Swerkstrom
has spent the last 30 years interviewing over 300 artists and artisans in
northwestern Wisconsin and beyond. These interviews, conducted with a tape
recorder and still camera, reveal the creative passion that each of the featured
people bring to their work. Originally, regional newspapers and magazines featured small portions of these interviews. Swerkstrom
is now expanding the interviews to provide a more clear and whole picture of each artist’s passion, process,
and personal story.
This
first volume features artists who work with wood, metal, ceramics, glass,
textiles, film, paint, photography, and several other mediums. Swerkstrom
recreates the interviews
in the artists' studios in such a way that readers feel that they
are part of the conversations.
The
book is available on Amazon.com, at Barnes and Noble, and at other brick-and-mortar
booksellers as well as directly from the writer.
