Judy Gittelsohn, a Palo Alto artist, opened Art For Well Beings (AFWB) in Spring of 2007. Judy has been creating art with people in our community for over eight years using methods that emphasize play and highlight the individual’s art within group projects. She developed PAINT BY PUZZLE © which frees people to contribute expressive work to a larger collective group painting. As well Judy is the Golden Acrylic Working Artist for the peninsula. People attending workshops at AFWB have access to an extensive range of Golden paints and gels.
