Not sure what to say?

For 3 or so years In the early 70s I studied printmaking with her at LA Valley College. She was an inspiration and I considered her a friend as well. She was kind of a mentor for me. I loved her class and think fondly about the stone lithography process. I would spend hours of extra lab time and she was always encouraging and a great teacher. I am so sorry that I wasn't able to find her and thank her for the impact she had on my life. I found this page now in 2025 and I just wanted to share...

Judith was my art history and studio teacher at Valley College in the early 1980s. I always meant to get in touch with her decades later but unfortunately never did. I have fond memories of my time in her classes. I recall vividly, her showing our art history class a slide show of her house in France. I remember the worn steps and the tall ground floor door that a horse and rider could enter. I also rrr we member a glass brick floor or 2 that would let light in from the skylight all the way...

Judith's sister Renée was my friend throughout elementary school (Van Ness Avenue). The fact that there were eight sisters with one little brother made a lasting impression on me. I remember visiting their unique little house on Manhattan Place, and I remember how three of the sisters sang together as the Vonnair Sisters. In fact, I think I still have a little promotional postcard of theirs. My deepest condolences to Renée and family...a very special family, indeed.

Judith's sister Linda Von Euer was my girlfriend. (Linda and I lived together.) We both admired Judith with fondness. She will be missed.

I enjoyed getting to know Judy on her walks around our neighborhood. She was a lovely woman with a bright spirit.

In 1980, Judy was on the committee that hired me as art gallery director and art teacher at Valley College. Even though I had an MA in drawing and painting, I learned more from Judy about drawing and how to teach it than I did in graduate school. She was simply an incomparable teacher, particularly of drawing.

As gallery director, I had the responsibility of mounting Judy’s exhibition Ornette’s Way in the college art gallery. Her work was outstanding, of course, but the highlight...

Judy and I were long time friends, colleagues, and allays in the Art Department at Los Angeles Valley College, where I taught for 31 years, beginning in 1977. She was simply the finest studio art teacher that I ever encountered. I was jealous of the students who had her as a teacher. I had none her peer in my art school, college, and university education. And only a few who came close in my 41 year career in higher education. Jan Stussy, her mentor at UCLA, told me that she was the...

Judith was an exceptional teacher and friend. Quietly, in her way, she always raised students to her level and spoke to us as her equal.
