And when inspiration doesn’t strike right away, she simply starts with the bare minimum and lets the process lead the way. Her current favorite musical is Little Shop of Horrors.

PROP MISTRESS

Judy recently assisted with set design for The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, creating two standout pieces: the wardrobe and the sleigh.
