Judith Roderick: With Gratitude for Trees
Exhibition Dates: November 3-29, 2026
Artist Reception Saturday, November 7, 1-3 pm
With Gratitude for Trees is a presentation of fine art quilts that was inspired by Judith Roderick’s visit to the Chiricahua mountains in Southern Arizona. These sky islands are the most bio-diverse land on this continent, visited by half of our North American birds. This exhibition pays homage to the beautiful large trees that provide food and shelter for the many birds Judith has long admired.
