A plethora of sights and sounds like these greeted Judy Giuliani in the far-off places where her military families were assigned.  First with her parents in the Navy and then with her husband in the Air Force.  All this traveling meant that she lived in 36 different locations in 36 years! She could have lamented the fact that she was missing out on a typical American childhood. Instead, she chose to enjoy and absorb what each new place had to offer, eagerly observing the art and traditions of other cultures.  Over time distinctive details were stored away in her mind’s eye until the urge to take up the brush lead her to include them in paintings.
