Large Judy Rand Whimsical Carved and Painted Wood Folk Art Cat. The cat is 30" tall and 33" long. The base is 16"x25". After graduating from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro with a Ph.D. in experimental psychology, Judy Rand took a position teaching psychology at Bowie State College, Maryland, in 1974. During her summers off, she discovered she had a passion for woodworking. Judy spent the next year experimenting with various woods on woodturning equipment, making small bowls and vases. In 1977 she decided to see what of her collection she could sell at the Artists in Action program on Washington D.C.’s Smithsonian Mall. Judy has been earning her living as a woodworker since she left her job teaching in 1980. Her work has gone through numerous style changes ranging from Art Nouveau to sophisticated folk.
