Judy Nell Gordon was born at home in Sandtown out off the San Angelo Highway west of Ballinger, Texas. She spent most of her childhood on the Spreen ranch, east of Ballinger. She was a cheerleader and basketball forward at the Ballinger school. She has lived in Austin, and El Paso, Texas; Albuquerque, and Moriarty, New Mexico; Lodge Pole, and Harlem, Montana; Oakland, California; and she owns the tallest building (a two-story house) in Valera, Texas, about twenty miles up the road from Ballinger, on Highway 67. Judy lives in Dallas, 250 miles east of Ballinger, and a few miles away from Highway 67. She has co-published and co-edited several publications including Fort Belknap Notes on the Fort Belknap Reservation in Montana, and Picking Up The Tempo, a music magazine in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
Judy is an accomplished artist, whether working with oils, pen, or charcoal. Her notebooks contain drawings –she calls them "Broadsides"– accompanied by spare, thoughtful words. If you like what you see here, please contact Judy. What she will do for you doesn't have a name yet. It's the Twenty-first Century equivalent of a hand-pulled lithograph: she will hand-pull an 8½-by-11-inch copy of your choice of picture from her Epson C80 on Archival Matte Paper, sign it, and snail-mail it to you. For the price listed, of course.
