JUDITH INGLESE

J udith Inglese has been designing and fabricating ceramic murals for public environments for over twenty-five years. She finds inspiration in the terracotta material itself and in creatively connecting the murals to their physical, historical and social environments... Recently, Judith has become interested in doing public art projects for small and rural communities. A ceramic mural can be a place maker and enrich and personalize the public space. It can create a sense of civic pride as well as have economic benefits, such as attracting visitors to a town. Public art can be uplifting to an underserved population.
