1st Vice President
Masters Program Chair
Judy Guinard
Judy was introduced to the world of egg artistry by Rachel Goetz
in 1985. Rachel and her sister, Barbara Frye, operated BarRae Eggers in the late
sixties and early seventies. Rachel started Judy at the very beginning and had
her working on chicken eggs to start. Judy also helped Rachel, whose eyesight
was beginning to fail, finish her creations. It was always important to Rachel
that egg art thrive and she encouraged Judy to reach out to new artists to
ensure the art form would continue.
Judy has continued the outreach by teaming up with Joyce Shivers
to teach classes in her basement for beginning and intermediate students. She
has operated a retail egging business, making the supplies needed available to
local eggers. Additionally, Judy created and hosted an egg show in the
Washington DC area from 1994 to 2000. For reasons beyond her control the BarRae
Invitational had to be cancelled in 2000, but Judy has high hopes of hosting
this show again - perhaps as early as April 2003.
Always eager to learn new techniques, she continues to hone her
skills by attending seminars several times a year. She continues to teach and
expand the local egging community with her duties as program director for the
Northern Virginia Studio Eggers.
