Judith Anderson has been making etchings for thirty years. She began printmaking in an Evening College course at Michigan State University and set up a studio at home after a family friend gave her an etching press in 1972. Anderson continued making prints while raising three children and working full-time in the university library.

Judith Anderson is a member of the National Association of Women Artists and has exhibited widely in national juried shows and invitational shows. Her work is in the Archives on Women Artists slide registry of the National Museum for Women in the Arts in Washington, D.C. Anderson's prints have been published in a number of books and periodicals and in Bill Moyers' PBS program (and video) Spirit and Nature. Her work is in numerous private and public collections, and she is represented by the R. Michelson Galleries, Northampton and Amherst, MA and by In Her Image Gallery, Portland, OR.

When she retired from Michigan State University in 1996, Judith Anderson moved to Miller Place, NY near Long Island Sound to live with her partner, a writer. While overseeing the building of her new studio, Anderson made carvings, a medium she has worked in for many years, in wood, bone and stone. Once the etching press was re-assembled, she returned to making edition etchings, exploring also monoprints, graphite drawings and watercolors.
