The Judith Moy Memorial Lectures
Long standing Shropshire Art Society member Judith Moy passed away in November 2016. Judith had been a member of the Society since 1991 during which time she served for several years as a valuable and highly respected member of the Committee, offering and sharing with us her huge knowledge and experience of the art world, exhibitions and painting. Her love of art, and commitment to the process of painting, exhibiting her pictures and the tutoring of others was a huge part of Judith’s life, and her work ethic, boundless energy and infectious enthusiasm an example to all. To mark the immense contribution that Judith made to the life and wellbeing of the Society, we organised a series of three lectures in 2017, 2018 and 2019. Our choice of speakers commemorated Judith’s considerable contribution to the development of our Society, but also celebrated the breadth of her creativity and artistic ability. Her particular skill and interest in the creation of artists’ prints was reflected in our choice of speaker. Euryl Stevens gave the inaugural lecture in 2017.
