She has lectured and exhibited my work in Japan, Korea and New York.

Judith worked in Korea and lived in Japan for a time. While there, she found a fascination for many things Asian, especially exploring shugi, sumie and the cultures while traveling throughout Asia and Southeast Asia. She became interested in haiku, sijo and other poetry forms as a result of her travels. In 1998, she got involved with Haiku Moon and that's when her haiku began to evolve. Along with Jim Dolan, she was a judge for the Haiku Moon haiku contests. Her work has appeared in The Japan Times, Mainichi Daily News, Frogpond, and Sijo West.

Judith says, 'My interests include writing, art, traveling, antiques and languages and of course my family!'
