Judy Derickson is a great art teacher. She is patient with her students and inspires them through her own art. She is a much-beloved advisor. A world traveler, Judy has shared many stories about life adventures. Like her hero, Leonardo (to whom she refers on a first-name basis), Judy has taught us to see in new ways. We will miss her! ~ Amy Clashman
