    19965 Lincoln Road Purcellville, VA 20132 Website: schiphill.wordpress.com

    To view a painting by Judith Thompson is to enter the woman’s

    world of expression, emotion and intelligence. A Judith woman

    is a strong, calm resting place in the maelstrom of daily life. Her

    subjects portray that outer manifestation of the inner workings

    that make us human. Women-these wonderful vessels of

    unfathomable depths are explored and clarified. Judith’s unique

    use of textiles, that are vibrant burst of color and blazing tones, flows from her love of

    beautiful female attire.

    Directions: From Business Route 7 in Purcellville, turn South onto Maple Avenue, and follow

    this road 5 miles. Maple Avenue will have become Lincoln Road. At the 5 mile mark, the Studio

    is on the Right, #19965. There is a sign in front of a stand of bamboo "Schip Hill".

    Website: www.rustymetal.com

    I create sculpture conveying the excitement of life. I start withcold gray steel twisting & turning until it develops its own per-sonality. When it resonates with me, it is complete. The titlecomes by finding the meaning from my subconscious. I enjoythe heat & power of the oxygen/acetylene torch, changing theindustrial steel into carefree movement. The journey is fabri-cating steel into art and discovering the meaning. Offering on tour: Enjoy a beautiful farm, bring a picnic and see

    sculpture in an open setting and the inside of my welding studio.

    Directions: Route 50 Middleburg stoplight, turn onto North Madison St. Road becomes

    Foxcroft Rd (elementary school on right), follow road for about 3 mi. Turn right at the pink

    house onto Mountville Rd. About a 10th of a mile on the left, take the second entrance into
