About Judith B. Herman
Judith B. Herman (who goes by Judy) is a freelance writer and artist based in Los Angeles County, California.
She has written features, profiles and reviews with emphasis on art and language for publications including the Los Angeles Times, Slate and Afterimage. Her visual art encompasses painting, collage, photography and combinations of the three. She is a founding member and past president of the Photographic and Digital Artists (PADA) affiliate of the Palos Verdes Art Center.
